Roby Vesely and Eric Spencer, Co-authors of You, Me, We: Why We All Need a Friend at Work, join the show this week to talk about the nature of work and how we can increase connection and the quality of our relationships. Ruby and Eric talk about what it was like to work as part of a trio with co-author Morag Barrett, and how to gauge if you are showing up as a best friend and ally in your workplace. The group discusses why we tend to underestimate the importance of relationships at work, and a better understanding of relationship ecosystems. At the end of the episode, they share their challenge to lean into life’s more difficult conversations and give practical advice on how to become a better ally for your colleagues.
