Defeating Loneliness at the Top Podcast with Nick Jonsson
Culture and Leadership Connections Podcast
Nick is deeply dedicated to raising awareness and effectively eliminating the stigma that often surrounds the phenomenon of executive loneliness. As the co-founder and managing director of the Singapore branch of EGN (Executives' Global Network), he is genuinely passionate about creating meaningful connections and matching senior executives in confidential peer groups, where they can collaboratively help each other navigate challenges and identify new opportunities for personal and professional growth.
Nick experienced severe burnout that ultimately led him to make the difficult decision to resign from his job. Seemingly overnight, his previously balanced lifestyle changed for the worse, significantly impacting his overall well-being. Bad habits quickly replaced his once-healthy routines, such as opting for drinking beer in the evenings instead of going for his refreshing morning walk. Nick found himself increasingly isolated and engulfed in feelings of depression. He managed to hide his struggles and depression from those around him for a couple of years, but eventually, he reached a breaking point where the mask he wore fell off, revealing the truth of his emotional state. It was at that crucial moment that he decided to embark on a transformative recovery journey.
Executive loneliness is a deeply personal topic that is incredibly close to Nick's heart. He has shared his story on multiple occasions across various platforms, and his experiences have been featured prominently in numerous newspapers and magazines. This issue resonates with many, and Nick aims to raise awareness about the often-overlooked struggles that come with leadership roles.
