Key Takeaways:

- Structured exercises such as the “appreciation seat” foster deep connections, encourage vulnerability, and create a culture where team members feel seen and valued.
- Leaders who embrace authenticity and share their personal struggles openly inspire trust and create a space for meaningful human connection, even in professional environments.
- Prioritizing face-to-face interaction, emotional transparency, and reflective practices helps combat the modern challenges of burnout, technological overwhelm, and social isolation.
“There’s so much coming at everybody and so much chaos flying around. It’s harder than ever to trust our intuition, but it’s more important than ever because it’s what the world needs right now.” — Mike Robbins
