In this video, I’m talking about The Epidemic of Loneliness and what we can do about it.

Before the pandemic, there was already an epidemic of loneliness. And while we know that the pandemic will eventually subside, the epidemic may not… In fact, loneliness is becoming a larger and more important issue as more and more employees and organizations go virtual.

So if you’re feeling lonely or as though something just isn’t right, here are a few strategies that I hope will help ease this pain.

And a small word of caution before you watch the video: I am not a doctor. If you have serious concerns for yourself clinically, please see someone. And while you can’t diagnose a friend or colleague, know that my advice here can only go so far.

Tweet it out: If you are feeling lonely, you aren’t alone. Reach out to someone and connect. You will help yourself while helping them. @KevinEikenberry
