Sophie On: Loneliness in Leadership

In this special mini-episode, (the Sophie Solo I like to call them), I dive into some personal stories of mine all around loneliness.

This is a topic that I find people rarely talk about from a career perspective, but more from a personal perspective, but this was something that came about when I was thinking back on my own career path.

Having been in a corporate leadership role from a young age, I wanted to share my experiences in this, and also now years later as I run my own business, the loneliness still resides.

HR can also really keep you in a silo, due to the nature of the job and knowing highly sensitive information, makes for a very lonely experience. Where does HR go, when they are the leaning pillar for the company?

As a business owner now, I try to surround myself with vibrant people who can help me learn, grow and have a good time too. But as an entrepreneur, you need to actively seek out this as you don’t have colleagues you can fall back on.

If you are feeling this, know you are not alone and things do get better. Harness the power of your loneliness, lean on those around you and find your tribe!
