=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === As we celebrate a full year's worth of Snippets From The Summit so far, our attention turns to a truly mission critical topic. What we're talking about here is the magical continuum that takes us from meeting a woman all the way through to having a long-lasting and healthy relationship with her. It all starts with being what I call 'connectable' (as described in my Invincible program), then igniting each other's masculine/feminine polarity, then culminating in true compatibility. In this brief episode, I'll explain not only what those three stages look like, but also how to achieve them in your own life dating and relating to women.

Calling all snackers! We love a good snack here at the Nest! But have you heard of social snacking? Your mom called and was worried your snacking might ruin your meal, but she should be worried that social snacking can lead to disconnection.  Today, our CEO and Momma Bird, Priscilla McKinney, talks with Ryan Jenkins to discuss breaking the connection barriers in the workplace. As Wall Street Journal best-selling leadership author of Connectable, Ryan has surveyed over 2,000 workers worldwide to discover the answers for quality connection and belonging and why sometimes technology that could enable connection actually thwarts it. Now don't take this the wrong way. Sending a quick text to a friend is good. But as Ryan points out, it takes intentionality to visit that friend. As humans, we follow the path of least resistance, so we choose convenience over connection if we're not intentional. We're wired for connection, and social snacking may keep our loneliness at a manageable level and keep us from reaching out for something more sustaining. Ready to give your team a sense of belonging and connection? Take a seat, grab a snack (but no social snacking) and listen in closely for the story of how Joseph Strauss, the structural engineer behind the Golden Gate Bridge, fostered a sense of connection with a net. Don't let the learning stop here. Little Bird Marketing's 12-week social selling course is a practical hands-on experience designed specifically to help you network effectively and at scale, build rapport with targeted audiences, expand your influence, and become the go-to authority in your area of expertise. So this is not a quick “tips and tricks” for LinkedIn's success flash in the pan. It's a commitment to changing the way you show up online and experience career-shifting breakthroughs. This is expert instruction in small cohorts with personalized one-on-one coaching. If you're interested, learn more at https://littlebirdmarketing.com/social-influence-course/

Today we're talking to Brandi Stanley, host of the podcast This Plus That. Brandi makes a living out of making connections. If creativity is the ability to connect the seemingly un-connectable, that's the art she practices. In love with the space between things—the intersections and the paradoxes—she's constantly looking for what insights can be gained when we mash the unexpected together and the growth that happens when we learn to hold complexity.  We had a great time talking with Brandi about so many things, from the hustle culture to church history, from empty calories as a metaphor to the gift economy, and of course all of the good dirt in between all of it. If you enjoy “connecting the dots” as they say, and discovering how much more we all have in common with each other than we think, then you'll love this conversation.

The last 6 weeks we've been discussing multiple aspects of mindset as it relates to the fitness industry and solopreneurship. From the foundation of knowing who you are and your core beliefs as a foundation for your business choices to imposter syndrome, shiny object syndrome, self promotion & money mindset.

Loneliness at work carries a stigma, but everyone experiences it. 72% of workers feel lonely on a weekly basis according to Steven Van Cohen and Ryan Jenkins (co-authors of Connectable) who studied loneliness for the last two years. In this conversation, they answer a breadth of questions — Is there a way to feel less lonely? How do you pull someone else out of loneliness? What can leaders do to encourage connection between isolated teams?

The authors of Connectable, Ryan Jenkins, CSP, and Steven Van Cohen, MSOD, are founders of LessLonely.com, the world's #1 resource for addressing workplace loneliness and creating more belonging at work. Collectively they have over 20 years of experience helping organizations like FedEx, Coca-Cola, The Home Depot, Salesforce, Wells Fargo, State Farm, John Deere, and Delta Air Lines improve their teams. Their work has been featured in Fast Company, Forbes, Wall Street Journal, SUCCESS, Inc., and Entrepreneur Magazine. When they are not writing and speaking, you can find them sampling craft beers, attempting to play golf together, and spending quality time with their respective families. Stay connected with them on social media @RyanAndSteven. Highlights: “One of our primary goals is to destigmatize loneliness, and to make it much more accessible because it's a universal human condition and we all experience it. So it shouldn't be shameful, it's simply a signal.” [8:10] Ryan explains the stigma of loneliness and how he and his co-author, Steven Van Cohen, want to help. “Let's bring the book front and center; Connectable, what's the big idea behind it? It's not just a book about loneliness…is it?” [11:52] Marcel introduces Ryan's book, ready to dive deep about the meaning of loneliness in the workplace.  “Work is the most fertile ground to lessen loneliness because there is routine, and there's meaningful relationships that can occur, there's purpose, there's learning. There's all these loneliness lifelines that we can all grasp onto.” [12:22] Ryan shares the thinking behind his book why connection is important and how work can make the difference. “This is so real for people that are listening, they understand ‘oh this is happening right now'....let's start with the why…why are so many workers suffering right now from loneliness?' [15:00] As Marcel relates the rising loneliness rates to his audience, Ryan explains the big ticket reasons as busyness and social media! “Loneliness was an epidemic pre COVID, and then COVID comes along…BAM...now we're in crisis, there is an increase in loneliness and isolation. People go remote for the first time, they don't know how to manage…that work life blend.” [18:30] Acknowledging the escalation of loneliness caused by the pandemic and the increase of remote work, Marcel challenges how to engage isolated workers.  “If we experience loneliness our reaction should be to reach out and connect with others but what happens is we turn inward and it just creates this downward spiral where we isolate further.” [26:46] In Connectable, Ryan and his co-author share 10 ways to identify signals of loneliness, here he shares a few ways to see this in your co-workers or friends.  “Even as an introvert, you still need to connect as well. It is in your human design to do that.” [32:50] Marcel recognizes that there are some personality types that may be assumed to prefer less connection, but still genuinely benefit from interaction. “Leaders at any level of the organization, one of the best ways is to communicate clearly. Make sure everyone knows what's going on: What we're doing in the organization, why we're doing things in the organization. For every leader, they should make sure that people know how they're fitting into that bigger picture.” [43:30] What can leader's do to create belonging in the work environment? Ryan shares some closing advice for leaders to foster connection in their organizations.  Resources: Less Lonely  Connectable: How Leaders Can Move Teams From Isolated to All In

Workers are lonelier than ever and it's not because of COVID. According to Steven Van Cohen, the absence of connection began way before the term pandemic entered the national conversation. Steven co-authored the book "Connectable: How Leaders Can Move from Isolated to All In" a book focusing on loneliness in the workplace. According to Steven's research, Generation Z is the loneliest generation, because they are the busiest. Steven says its time for companies to get past the professional growth and start focusing on the personal growth of their employees. How should companies do this?
