This episode continues our conversation about Friendships started in Ep 131 with NoorJehan Tourte which got us started with her terrific episode: True to you: embracing authenticity in friendships. Some great questions emerged like the one we’ll cover today: What is it about work friends that make them so special?
Here are the three takeaways from today’s episode:
1. Work friendships and their impact on mental wellness are often over-looked. Research indicates that having a best friend at work can lead to higher job satisfaction and a more meaningful connection to the workplace. And a heck of a lot more fun!
2. The evolving attitudes towards friendships, especially among younger generations like Gen Z and millennials, challenge traditional relationship hierarchies. They are prioritizing friendships over romance!
3. The traditional networking model may note resonate with everyone but by questioning and examining our beliefs, we can potentially find a more authentic approach to building meaningful professional connections.
