It hurts to feel excluded… literally. Your Brain Says It's Actual Pain.

Ever felt a pang of loneliness and thought it was all in your head? Steven Van Cohen's insights in "How Leaders Can Move Teams From Isolated to All In" reveal it's more than just a feeling. A study using fMRI scans shows that our brains register social exclusion in the same area as physical pain, kicking our fight or flight response into gear. This not only puts us on edge but can harm our health just like smoking 15 cigarettes a day!

This eye-opener underscores the real impact of feeling disconnected and the importance of fostering a sense of belonging, especially in our teams. Cohen's talk is a call to action for leaders to build more inclusive, connected teams to combat the silent epidemic of loneliness.
