The Handshake Ep. 24 – Building Human Connection in the Digital Age: Insights from Chester Elton

Join us for an exclusive conversation with “The Apostle of Appreciation” himself, Chester Elton—New York Times bestselling author of “Leading with Gratitude,” “Anxiety at Work,” and “The Carrot Principle.”

 

In this illuminating episode of ‘The Handshake,’ Chester shares groundbreaking insights on:

  • How authentic gratitude transforms workplace culture and reduces turnover by 31%
  • Why “the way you spell love is T-I-M-E” in leadership and how regular check-ins combat the loneliness epidemic
  • The power of engaging all five senses, through sharing a meal,  when teams gather in person—why “breathing the same air” matters
  • Practical strategies for “managing to the one” when leading remote teams
  • How the younger generation is transforming leadership expectations, seeking leaders who help them “become better people”

Drawing on Stephen Covey’s wisdom to “begin with the end in mind” and “listen for understanding,” Chester offers practical approaches to connection—from digital gift cards to camera-on conversations—that acknowledge the human need for belonging.
