00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: your podcasts. Good morning, this is Laura. Welcome to the

17
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 1: New Corner Office, the podcast where we share strategies for

18
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: thriving in the new world of work where location and

19
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: hours are more flexible than in the past. Today's tip

20
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: is to connect beyond social media. We can use social

21
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 1: media to feel connected, and it can fill a real need,

22
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,320
Speaker 1: but don't let it be the only way that you

23
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: fill that need even now. This episode comes from a

24
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: letter I got from a listener who had moved to

25
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: a new country following her spouse's job. She was working

26
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: from home, and while she noted that us had been great,

27
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: I do find myself going to social media a lot

28
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: is a way to connect to people since I don't

29
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: get to chat with anyone throughout my work day. She said,

30
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: work calls tended to be mostly about work. She found

31
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: herself slipping down the rabbit hole of social media, but

32
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 1: it was hard to avoid since Instagram and WhatsApp were

33
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: the quickest way to have the equivalent of a water

34
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: cooler conversation. Any tips on how I can fulfill this

35
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: need of mind to feel connected to people without turning

36
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,679
Speaker 1: to social media, she asked. Humans are social creatures, and

37
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: so this listener is absolutely right that connection is a need.

38
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: Social media can quickly create a sense of connection. You

39
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: feel part of a group when you are all mocking

40
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: a funny story in the news or gushing over a

41
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 1: picture or arguing over a clickbait headline. It's a quick hit.

42
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: The problem, of course, is that much of our social

43
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: media consumption is pretty passive. You read an article and

44
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 1: read the comments, you respond to some famous person's post.

45
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 1: This person does not actually know you. This isn't real socializing.

46
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 1: Some real socializing is possible online. Certain niche communities can

47
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: be truly supportive, and I don't want to minimize that,

48
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: but I'd say that at least eighty percent of the

49
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 1: time that is not what is happening. So I thought

50
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 1: our listener needed to recognize that social media is what

51
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: I might call effortless connection. Real person interaction is more

52
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: effortful connection. It's worth it to put effort into the

53
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: real connection because it can be so much more meaningful.

54
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: So one idea for her is to proactively schedule in

55
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: virtual socializing with real friends. The upside of a pandemic

56
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: is now everyone is trying virtual get togethers. This is

57
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: good news for someone who's just moved to a new

58
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: country because she can plug in with friends and her

59
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: old home as if she'd never left. Yes, there might

60
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: be a time difference, but oh well. Aiming to get

61
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: together with people for virtual coffees once or twice a

62
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: week could go a long way toward making her feel

63
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 1: more connected. She might also be able to elevate one

64
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: of her colleagues into more of a friend. We've covered

65
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 1: the idea of making better work friends on this podcast recently.

66
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 1: If there's someone who she enjoys and meetings and who

67
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,919
Speaker 1: seems friendly, it might be worth suggesting a virtual coffee

68
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: to get to know each other better. Theoretically, her company

69
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: should be encouraging this, given that people aren't working in

70
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: person together, but she can take the initiative regardless. Work

71
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: is far more fun when you're friendly with the people

72
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,919
Speaker 1: you work with. She could also start a small professional

73
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: accountability group start getting together virtually regularly with four to

74
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 1: six people in her industry. These sessions have a professional purpose,

75
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: so people are more likely to take them seriously and

76
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: make time for them. But it's hard to chat with

77
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 1: people about your goals and aspirations time and time again

78
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 1: and not start to feel connected. This would be a

79
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: good way to make more connections in the real world.

80
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: Few people are going to give up social media cold turkey,

81
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: and I don't think there's any real reason too. When

82
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 1: you start spending more time connecting to real people. It

83
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: crowds out time for social media, and it also makes

84
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 1: social media feel less pressing. When you see something interesting,

85
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: you are more likely to text or call a friend

86
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: about it, rather than seeing what people you don't actually

87
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: know are commenting about it. It's a pretty similar process,

88
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 1: but it feels far more fulfilling, and that is worth

89
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:56,599
Speaker 1: making time for. In the meantime. This is Laura, thanks
