#58 Executive Loneliness with Nick Jonsson

There’s an epidemic of executive loneliness is the corporate world today.

On this episode of the podcast, I’m joined by Nick Jonsson, author of Executive Loneliness, where he shares his personal experiences of striving for success whilst struggling with the negative consequences of a winning mindset.

He shares how self-doubt, anxiety and a colluding organisational culture that simply wanted to him to smile and be successful led him to turn to unhealthy coping mechanisms, including addiction, and eventually to him leaving the corporate world in a personal crisis. Whilst at his own rock bottom, a friend of Nick’s took his own life. It was then that he realised how important it is that we support leaders who may be experiencing loneliness and depression in the workplace. This provided a catalyst for a new life purpose and the drive to turn his life around and help others.
