Overcoming Leadership Loneliness for Stronger Mental Health
Overcoming Leadership Loneliness for Stronger Mental Health in Today’s Workplaces
I was honored to join Dr. Laura on her highly acclaimed podcast, Where Work Meets Life™ — a show ranked in the top 10% globally with more than 40,000 monthly listeners tuning in for bold, honest conversations about the intersection of work, purpose, and well-being.
In this episode, I opened up about one of the most overlooked challenges in leadership: loneliness.
Behind the titles and achievements, many executives and business leaders are silently struggling — carrying immense responsibility, making high-stakes decisions, and often feeling like they have no one to truly talk to. It’s a reality I know firsthand, and it’s the reason I wrote my book Executive Loneliness.
Together, Dr. Laura and I explore:
Why leadership loneliness is on the rise
How unchecked isolation impacts mental health and performance
Practical ways leaders can create support systems, build authentic connections, and prioritize emotional well-being
The importance of vulnerability and human-centric leadership in today’s ever-changing workplace
Whether you're a CEO, team leader, HR professional, or someone who simply wants to lead with more intention and care — this episode offers powerful insights and a reminder that you don’t have to lead alone.
Let’s continue building workplaces where strength includes asking for help, and leadership includes emotional resilience.
