00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 1: for Service and the AD Council. Good morning, This is Laura.

19
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 1: Welcome to the New Corner Office the podcast where we

20
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: share strategies for thriving in the new world of work,

21
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: where their location and hours are more flexible than in

22
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 1: the past. Today's tip is to never eat lunch alone,

23
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: even if you're not physically in an office. Lunchtime can

24
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: and should be social time, regardless of the circumstances, and

25
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: even if you have to get a little bit creative

26
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: about making it work. You've almost certainly heard the phrase

27
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: to never eat alone before. Keith Ferazzi, for instance, he

28
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 1: used this phrase as the title of his book about

29
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: Relationships and professional Success. We all know that networking is

30
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: vital to our career growth, and we also know that

31
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: relaxed interactions like lunch help build authentic relationships. What's new

32
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: now is that many people are working remotely for the

33
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: first time, as the world engages in social distancing measures

34
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: to slow the spread of COVID nineteen. If you work

35
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: from home, even in normal times, it can be tempting

36
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: to embrace your freedom and flexibility and to avoid scheduled commitments.

37
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: If you're in charge of your own schedule, you may

38
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: not want to stop for lunch until you're hungry, and

39
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: there may be some wisdom in that which will discuss

40
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: in other episodes. Or to be honest, maybe you're sitting

41
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: there and sweatpants and don't feel like needing to shower

42
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: by a certain time. Having lunch with a companion then

43
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: seems to disrupt your efficiency, and perhaps it does, but

44
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: that's true. If you're a workplace too, you may have

45
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: to stop your work when you're in a state of

46
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: flow to go to scheduled lunch date. So be it.

47
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: What's gained in relationships will probably make up for what's

48
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,519
Speaker 1: lost in efficiency. For those of us who work at home,

49
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: whether by choice or necessity, more intentionality is required for

50
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:03,519
Speaker 1: developing and maintaining relationships. Lunch dates can be a key

51
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 1: part of fostering our professional relationships, since we don't cross

52
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 1: paths with each other as much as in office workers do.

53
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: When social distancing is over, it will be great to

54
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: do these dates in person. Right now, virtual lunch dates

55
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: are a great substitute. Here's how this works. Make yourself

56
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: lunch and then log on to a video call for

57
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: conversation with a professional colleague or friend. If you haven't

58
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: done this before, you may be surprised at how much

59
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: real connection can happen and how much you'll enjoy it. Yes,

60
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: it's a little weird to eat on a video call,

61
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: but you watch people eat when you're in a restaurant too,

62
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: you'll figure out how to avoid doing anything uncouth. You

63
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: can schedule these lunch dates or text one of your

64
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: colleagues last minute to join you, just like you would

65
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: in person. Lunch dates can happen with people in your

66
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: house too. If you have a partner or kids who

67
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: are home right now, you can have lunch with them.

68
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: Not just grab and ghost sandwiches that everybody eats in

69
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: front of their own screens, but lunch on a plate

70
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 1: at a table, talking with each other. Enjoy the opportunity

71
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 1: to share a meal together in the middle of the day.

72
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: Someday this will all be over and family lunches on

73
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: a Tuesday will be a lot harder to pull off,

74
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: So embrace it now. If you commit to never eating

75
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,119
Speaker 1: lunch alone, even if it means having virtual lunch dates,

76
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: let me know how it goes. You can reach me
