Keynote: Leading with Connection
Build quality connections
as a key protective factor
through
a neurobiological approach.
Why it is worth investing in quality connections at work.
“When employees strongly agree that they trust the leadership of their organisation, they are 4x as likely to be engaged.”
Gallop’s State of the Global Workplace: 2023 Report
Quality connections between leader and employee are a stress buffer & protective factor against Psychosocial Hazards.
What can we do?
We start with ourselves. We check in with our own nervous system, a regulated nervous system will enable connection mode (rather than protection mode), to increase quality relationships and engagement in our work.
Secondly, we need to look at building quality connections across geographic and generational boundaries in order to foster a sense of mutual trust and belonging.
AI is going to be a challenge, we must get in front of.
"We need to prioritize our social relationships like our life depends on it, because it does.”
Dr. Julianne Holt-Lunstad
