Every Moment is a Choice
Loneliness is increasingly recognized as a significant epidemic affecting many individuals in society. However, among executives and leaders, this issue can be even more devastating, as it often remains unspoken, making it a silent epidemic that goes unnoticed.
Combine a high-pressure work environment, professional stigma surrounding mental health issues, and a noticeable lack of adequate support systems: this creates a troubling recipe for loneliness that can ultimately lead to serious consequences such as depression, substance addiction, and, in some tragic cases, even suicide.
