✉️ hi [at] niharikasodhi [dot] com

Coming to the 'story'...

I'm a writer. And with that, I also became an educator and entrepreneur.

I side hustled for 10 months in 2020 because something was missing. 

I refuse to believe you shouldn't be kicked to go to work when you wake up. I refuse to believe that you need to reach a certain 'level' to do high-impact work. Labels and designations aren’t exciting either. 

And I strongly believe that there's enough wealth we can all create if we play by the mindset of abundance and not scarcity.

We have a duty to be of service to other people. And we only have one chance at life to tap into our potential and unleash it.

So I quit my job in 2021 to write full time.

That led to:

• becoming a 22x top writer on Medium
• creating digital products 
• having a cohort-based course that's educated 100+ people across 30+ countries 
• getting accepted to LinkedIn Creator Accelerator Program 

As a writer, my purpose is to leave everyone healthier and happier. 

As an educator and entrepreneur, I want to help other creators level up their game and solve their problems.

I'm passionate about healthy living, reading, and mindfulness. I've also travelled to 24 countries and still have fear of flying.

Dear LinkedIn, I’m writing this post with two hearts in me. But by the time you read this, I’ll only have one.

(I wrote plenty of LinkedIn posts to publish after pregnancy with my pregnant-mind thoughts haha)

As I embark on this journey into motherhood as someone who had severe body dysmorphia and was overweight all their life, for the first time…

I’m in awe of the human body.

The strength of a woman.

The body that creates life creates an entire tiny human, which I don’t even know how I will handle.
(I’m so dependent on my mom, I feel I’m a kid myself!)

The past few months have made me respect my mom and all mothers so much more. Creating a life is the hardest thing I’ve been through.

It has challenged me on an emotional, physical, and spiritual level.
(More on this tomorrow)

But if you’re reading this - go give your mom a hug.

This is me 2 days ago - 20 days after delivering a baby and 16 kgs heavier. 

It’s the latter that’s bothering me. 

While I’m not cleared to workout until 6 weeks postpartum, between burps and feeds I’m reading a lot of 
- Postpartum workout progress 
- Postpartum workout plan
- ‘Bouncing back’ after delivery 

All this while weight loss is the least of my fears! 😏

I’ve already gone down from 85 kgs to 60 kgs earlier. 

I have been working out and eating healthy since the past 11.5 years.

I can 100% go from 79 to 63 kgs again. 

I know how to do and I’m actually super excited to do it because I remember how the journey of weight loss is more fun than reaching a goal weight 😌

I’m writing this because 🧐 the pattern I noticed in my thinking is similar to something I correct when I teach and my students are full of fears and doubts around their writing journey…

1️⃣ We treat others with kindness but forget it when it comes to ourselves. 
2️⃣ The idea of our fears and overthinking it is worse than reality. 
3️⃣ When you talk to yourself, think - how would your friend feel listening to all this? Your mind and body can hear you, treat it accordingly. 

I’m writing this to you today in case you need a reminder to give yourself grace, because that was my learning for this week :) 

Of course - my hormones may be working against me but it is what it is. 

___

PS: yes, being 5.9” and in winter clothes hides 16 kgs well. I’m aware that being tall can be a blessing but my back pain occasionally disagrees 🤣

PPS: SO good to step out for a meal and feel normal after months of hospital visits!

No alternative text description for this image

Exactly zero people have asked me this question, but here’s why I started building on LinkedIn 😂

Firstly, it was random.

I was working at an MNC and writing articles on Medium. So I started sharing my articles.

Then, being my usually positive self, I started posting some positive notes. Sometimes I got 10-20 likes and I felt SO good.

However, I didn’t take LinkedIn seriously until… 2022. 

(I had ~40,000+ followers that time)

Until then, I was just
- Posting what I wanted
- Not using LinkedIn to generate clients
- However, clients still came to me because of my content

But when I started using it right, the game changed.

More on this tomorrow 🙂

DM me with GROW to build your personal brand.

Pregnancy shook me on a level I’d never imagined. I think it's the biggest roller coaster a human body can experience.

Continuing from yesterday's post…

🧠Mentally
- I was trying to be productive and failing
- I was SO angry, and I’m usually a really calm person!

😖Emotionally
- I was in shock for months
- I felt depths of sadness I didn’t know I had the ability to feel
- Had nights where I cried myself to sleep
- Sometimes I’d cry multiple times a day
- Other days, I laughed and laughed so much

💪🏼Physically
- ‘Being tired’ had a new meaning altogether 
- No two days were the same
- The above unpredictability annoyed me 
- Some days, I stayed in bed all day 


(I’m typing this in October’25 at 28 weeks pregnant because I’m writing my thoughts to publish later)

The waves of happiness and lows came in phases.

There’s nothing I’ve experienced that’s as challenging. 

For someone who loves routine and getting things done + thought they were aware and emotionally regulated - this was a humbling experience.

Moving ahead, I’m sure motherhood will teach me a lot.

I just created my most vulnerable piece of content EVER. It's taken me 2 weeks to have the courage to hit publish 🫠 

I haven't felt this scared... or vulnerable, in a very long time.

As always - I try to talk about things that should be spoken about. 

This time, that topic isn't about living an intentional lifestyle or workplace.

My reason for creating this is when I asked my mom: "Being pregnant is so difficult. How has no one addressed this?!"

She replied, "humare zamaane mein aise baat nahi karate the." (Translation: we didn't talk about this in our times).

So I guess it's time we talk about it 🙂

My favourite part about being a solopreneur is the small things, really. Stuff like:

1. It’s so cold in Delhi in winters that I’m in a blanket after lunch and become a burrito. Then I have chai around 4pm and slowly get out. Afternoon siesta everyday!

2. Unlimited family time. No money will ever give me my time with loved ones. It’s why I don’t work for over 3 hours.

3. Working on projects I like and with people I learn from. Life is too short for toxic teammates.

When your soul feels good, life feels better :)

You could be the reason you aren’t getting enough sales. I know you don’t want to hear it, but if you want to print more cash, you should.

Continuing from yesterday’s post… it was ONE person who made me take LinkedIn seriously.

I was in a Summit 21 call, which is a course I conducted back then, and someone asked me, 

“Why don’t you talk about your course on LinkedIn?”

I replied, “Why would I?”

He said, “It took me 7 months to figure out that you conduct this course. It would’ve really helped me if I'd known about it earlier.”

That’s when I realised that my 
- fear of sounding too salesy, and 
- being afraid of selling
…was holding me back from more sales.

And when I started taking LinkedIn seriously, everything changed. I finally had USD five-figure months and worked with some excellent people who I enrolled to learn from me… but I learnt so much from them.

Now, I shamelessly talk about my services because why the heck not?

Sometimes, the bottleneck in your customer journey is your fear.

So would you give more weight to your fear or your bank account? It’s a choice, and I prefer the numbers in my bank acc tbh.

Yes, there is an ‘easy place’ to start a side-hustle. Take it from someone who’s created content on multiple platforms for years.

LinkedIn is the easiest place to start a side hustle because:

- The audience is already in a business mindset. They open LinkedIn for... work, duh.
- You don’t need to build an audience from scratch... they’re already here.
- Organic reach is still generous compared to other platforms (ahem - reels).
- All you need is your profile and a post.

Tbh in my experience, it's the easiest place to grow on. 

It took me MUCH longer to grow on Medium and X!

And no, LinkedIn hasn’t paid me to write this (how I wish!).

I’m writing this purely in public interest because so many people have a big goal for 2026 that fades off my mid-January. So if you’re looking for ‘easy’, it’s this.

I’ve never felt this grateful to be a solopreneur as I did last year when I found out I’m pregnant. I was sick to death.

(As you can kinda see in this photo)

For anyone who’s been through this journey - first trimester can be testing.

It tested me on a spiritual, emotional, and physical level.

I was unable to eat and unable to retain anything I ate. Mentally, I was experiencing depths of sadness I didn’t know I had in me to feel.

The hormonal surge, weakness, sadness…all added up.

And because of the work I do, I was able to do absolutely NOTHING till I felt better. That was 6 weeks of:
- Weakening nausea
- Lying down most of the time
- Dealing with oversleeping or insomnia

My respect for every woman out there who has been through this shot up because I was just a weakling who was getting crushed till my soul.

Tomorrow, I’ll talk about why I think solopreneurship is empowering for women.

Every time someone says, “My LinkedIn views have tanked,” it’s adorable. 

You take one look at their profile. 

It’s not LinkedIn. 

It’s not the algorithm. 

It’s the posts. They lack value. 

More like:

“Here’s what I think”
“Here’s what happened with me”
“Here's what I did last weekend.”

There’s so much ME ME ME 📢  

Who cares about you?

Humans are narcissistic. We only care about ourselves. 

A protocol I follow and teach is -

Before hitting publish, ask yourself - is this valuable for the reader?

If not, hit delete. 

Harsh, but you’ll thank me later.

My definition of wealth changed in 2022.

During my 9-5, I correlated ‘wealth’ to:
• Appraisals
• Promotions
• Better projects
• Getting recognised
• Working with the ‘top’ people

As a solopreneur, I’ve realised that wealth is:
• Owning your time
• Doing  work you truly enjoy
• Having an empty calendar > zoom calls
• Having passive income (I do this via ebooks)

No one definition is better than another, just like we’re not the same people with identical strengths.

We’re all on this blue ball with 71% of water for different reasons. 

While the society tells us to one believe in one definition for everything (especially success, wealth, and relationships), I hope 2026 is the year you find *your definition* of these words.  

Once that happens, I promise that you'll find the joy of alignment with your inner-self.

Woke up to 7000 subscribers and I know you think it’s a small number. 

YouTube is a place where chanels with 100K+ subscribers are common, but here’s something I have always thought of: 

- picture 10 people in a room 
- now picture 7000 people in a room!

For an introvert like me, anything more than groups of 3 is a party 😂 

So I’m grateful for every person who follows me because they invest their limited time on this earth into my work 🙏🏼

And yes - I know I’ve failed to be consistent here. It is what it is, I’m only a writer at heart 😌

graphical user interface, text, application, chat or text message

This is my first month of motherhood, and I caught myself in a thinking pattern similar to my college and corporate days. 🤦🏻‍♀️ 

In month 9 of pregnancy, I was dying for the baby to come out already 😅 I had had enough!

Which made me realise how I’m living a lot in the future. 
(I had lots of time to myself, and hence lots of reflections)

Listen...I’m hardcore into visualisation.

During my corporate job, I visualised myself in the mountains working on a laptop. It signified a sense of freedom to me. 

(I don't work on vacations, btw)

After that, as a freelancer, I visualised owning my time and being financially independent. 

I became a solopreneur, and the above happened. 

Now I visualise lots of things I won’t tell you just yet 🤫 

But in the past month, I thought...
How nice it’ll be for this baby to grow quickly and sleep at least 6 hours! 🫠 🤣 

Again, I lost hold of the present. 

Her hands will never be this small again, and she’ll never be a newborn again. 

How silly of me to look at the next step instead of living in the present - 
To cherish this little girl 🎀 

I wish I had lived more in the present 
• during my undergrad, as I was excited to study abroad in postgrad
• only to be unhappy and want to finish my MSc so I can earn money
• to be dissatisfied in my job because I wasn't earning enough, lol

Looking forward to the next step never ends. 

There's always a next step that looks more comfortable, only to look back and wish 
• you hugged tighter
• stressed lesser
• lived fuller 

Finding a balance between visualising + living in the present is what I want to cultivate more in 2026.

PS: Out for my first coffee with a friend, after months!

I don’t visit the gym the first 5 days of the year because it’s crowded by all those who want to get fit. And then, they fade…

It’s why New Year’s resolutions don’t work out.

Personally, I started mine 2 months before the new year so I can
- Get a flavour of it
- Try to be consistent
- Start the new year with a bang

Resolutions aren’t enough; systems are.

Instead of focusing on WHAT you want to do, focus on HOW you’ll do it. And WHY is it important?

That’ll make it much easier to show up consistently.

Promise :)

Someone's LinkedIn content tells you a lot about their personality. I'll show you how you can know someone is insecure.

Insecure folks:
• Shit on others to feel better
• Try to talk down about a segment
• Dwindle around negative content (misery finds company)

So every time I see someone laughing at a segment of people, I figure they're insecure in some way. It's an unhealthy coping mechanism to feel better about yourself by pushing others down.

Secure people
• Write for the joy of writing
• Never crib about the algorithm
• Rise by lifting others and being of service

So next time you read online, you can learn a lot about someone through their content. And it's not their fault because social media does a great job with comparison and making you feel 'less'.

In this hyperstimulated world, I hope you can find balance and attract abundance.

You're designed to win, feel good, and be healthy.

Go on, shine!

Everyone loves saying “new year, new me” 👀

But you and I both know most resolutions don’t survive week 3.

This is why I avoid the gym during the first week of January. 🤷🏻‍♀️

It’s crowded with people who: 

-  Set a resolution
-  Decide “this is my year”
-  Fall of the wagon by day 10
-  Procrastinate and wait for the next January to start

This is why I stopped setting New Year’s resolutions a while ago. 

Because I know those who are truly committed don't need the calendar’s permission to change their life. 

Setting a resolution is not enough. 

You need a system to ride the wave of your new habit till the end of the year. 

In tomorrow’s issue of Side Hustle Saturdays, I’m dropping the prompt you need to:

➡️ build a system you actually stick to throughout 2026
➡️ stay consistent without depending on motivation
➡️ actually follow through this year

Join 14,000+ readers here 👉🏻 https://lnkd.in/gy6UnjRQ

Two important things you shouldn’t apologise for at work:

- Saying no to extra hours
- Prioritising your health 

Personal story: I had a colleague call me at 10 am once, even though work didn't start until 11:30 am. I was in the middle of holding a yoga pose. 

I thought it was urgent and called back. She called me to ask me to email her something. 

What a bummer. I stopped picking calls out of working hours thereafter (something which wasn’t appreciated).

Remember - You’re NOT paid for sacrificing well-being and working like a machine. You’re paid for 8h/ day. 

Literally everything can come and go, but health first, ALWAYS. 

That’s there to stay forever… and no amount of money can fix it once it goes down.

Quick check-in: We’re 9 days into 2026. Are your goals moving or already slipping? Be honest 👀

Every January looks the same:

New goals. Fresh motivation. The internet throwing 20 ‘life-changing’ routines at you.

The part nobody talks about is:

You can buy every template on the internet and still live the same year on repeat. That’s why most resolutions die by February 🙁

What matters is the foundation: your mindset 🧠

This is the slippery slope most people fall into. 

But you don't have to be one of them. 

Tomorrow, I’m sending out the 12-month blueprint to reinvent yourself to the 14,000+ readers of Side Hustle Saturdays. 

This one’s for you if you want to:

➡️ Stay consistent beyond January 2026
➡️ Stop reliving the same year again & again
➡️ Do the inner work that actually moves your life forward

If you’re looking for a sign to stop sleepwalking through another year…

Join here  👉🏻  https://lnkd.in/gy6UnjRQ

If you want to make something of this one life, do this and I promise you’ll be a different person in 12 months.

1. Learn about an abundance mindset. The scarcity one is holding you back from success.
2. Find your ikigai; it will give you a direction and purpose to follow.
3. Know + embrace yourself, then capitalise on your strengths.
4. Find your negative belief systems and you’ll realise you’re a powerhouse of potential when you fix them.
5. Spend more time with people you love, they won’t be alive forever.

I know it sounds simple. 

But when you’re aware of the above and work on rectifying the gaps, all areas of your life will begin to prosper.

If I had to give my 22yo self corporate lessons, it would be this:
(this could trigger those in higher designations - sorry not sorry)

- Only a few colleagues are your friends; give yourself time to figure that out instead of opening up too quickly.

- Your company will replace you in a day, so try to be damn good at your job.

- Always have a second income source, it may feel like work right now, but your future self will thank you for it.

- The senior folks may enjoy ego games, but you have a life and shouldn’t stoop as low. 

- Don’t stop being fit and prioritise your health over everything else. You don’t want to be another manager with a potbelly.

- HR is to save the company, not you.

Honestly, I only followed the one around ego games and being fit.

Everything else was a lesson learnt later.

One phrase can launch a person’s career faster than years of learning. 

(And we say it out loud far too rarely)

Most of the time, it’s not loud words.
It’s short support, said at the right time.

Not “You can do it.” 
Not motivational speeches.

But simple, precise words in the right moment:

→ “You’re ready enough to try.”
→ “Rest is part of productivity.”
→ “You have a right to boundaries.”
→ “A mistake is data, not a verdict.”
→ “You don’t have to carry this alone.”
→ “You don’t have to be perfect to grow.”

Most of us have had people who supported us 
when we doubted ourselves, minimized what we felt, or stayed silent.

Sometimes one sentence from someone you trust:

↳ removes shame
↳ helps you choose yourself
↳ gives you your footing back
↳ gives you the courage to say “no” or to ask for help

It’s not “motivational” phrases that change people.
It’s honest words, spoken when they’re truly needed.

And the most important part:

Be that person for someone else. 
Don’t wait until they break to support them.

Sometimes it’s enough to say:

“You’re doing great. I believe in you.”

Who has been that kind of support for you one sentence or one decision?

Even with the best strategy, you can fail at one thing.

(And it can ruin the entire business)

It’s how you treat people.
And it always comes back around.

You can change your KPIs.
You can change your priorities.
You can change your processes.

But one thing remains predictable:

People remember what it felt like to work with you.

Specifically:

• Did you listen, even when it was uncomfortable?
• Did you notice the effort and not just the outcome?
• Did you bring clarity instead of looking for someone to blame?
• Did you have the team’s back when the pressure was at its peak?

If the answers are positive, 
that “memory” becomes a business advantage.

It turns into:

→ Better decisions.
→ Faster alignment.
→ Earlier risk signals.
→ Stronger retention.
→ More honest updates.

Treating people well isn’t about being soft.

It’s about being intentional.
It’s choosing long term effectiveness over short term tension.

Because you can push a team with pressure.
But you can only sustain it through how you treat people.

Treat people well.

It’s the only investment that never loses value.

One of the best things you can do in life…

Build a habit of gratitude for what you already have.

We want big results.

But most of what makes them possible is already here.
And we don’t notice it because it became routine.

We normalize:

→ a role that matters
→ people who trust you
→ work that challenges you
→ wins that once felt impossible
→ mistakes that turn into lessons
→ skills you once dreamed of having

Gratitude doesn’t lower standards.
It increases resilience.

It helps leaders stay calm under pressure, 
and helps teams stay motivated through uncertainty.

Here are 5 simple ways to practice gratitude at work:

1/ Thank one person specifically.

2/ Notice progress, not perfection.

3/ Treat hard tasks as trust, not punishment.

4/ Start your day by naming one opportunity today.

5/ End the day by naming one step you moved forward.

What you call “normal” is your progress in action,
step by step toward the outcome.

Gratitude brings motivation back when it’s hard. 

And it reminds you: 
your “normal” day is someone’s dream.

What part of your normal workday are you most grateful for right now?

Don’t build your future on one role.

Invest in what always stays with you.

Most people chase things they can lose overnight.

A title. 
A contract. 
A company. 
A “stable” plan. 
Someone’s approval.

But real power is different.

It’s what stays with you when everything around you changes.

Work on the things people can’t take away from you:

Your skills. 
Your body. 
Your mindset. 
Your character. 
Your work ethic. 
Your knowledge.

Because this is the foundation.

→ Character builds trust.
→ Skills make you adaptable.
→ Mindset protects your focus.
→ Work ethic creates momentum.
→ A strong body gives you energy.
→ Knowledge makes you valuable anywhere.

This is what turns uncertainty into confidence.

Not because life gets easier.
But because you become unstoppable.

Which of these are you building in yourself right now and why?

Work on the things people can't take away from you:

Your skills Your body Your mindset Your character Your work ethic Your knowledge

This is how you become unstoppable.

When toxicity is ignored, the message is clear:

“Results come before respect.”

And that message always comes at a cost.

When disrespect becomes acceptable in pursuit of goals,
the team shifts into self-protection mode.

Less initiative.
More politics.
More burnout.

And then it’s not only people who suffer.
Results suffer too.

Workplace toxicity isn’t about:

→ Deadlines
→ High standards
→ Direct feedback

Workplace toxicity is about:

↳ Humiliation
↳ Fear over trust
↳ Dismissiveness
↳ Lack of support
↳ Excessive control
↳ Passive aggression
↳ Boundary violations
↳ Punishment for honesty

The strongest cultures don’t lower standards.

They replace:

Control with clarity.
Suspicion with trust.
Silence with support.

Teams that consistently deliver can:
move fast, work hard, handle pressure.

But they can’t thrive where there’s no respect.

Which of these signals destroys performance the fastest, in your view?

The biggest trap in leadership:

Putting goals above people.

Because how you lead shapes how your team performs.

You can push a deadline through.

But when you lead through pressure and fear, 
the team gets drained.

Leadership won’t “turn on” when you suddenly need it.
It either raises performance or quietly breaks it.

And the team starts paying the price:

↳ burnout
↳ loss of initiative
↳ fear of making mistakes
↳ silence instead of honesty

Here are 4 foundations of true leadership:

1. Empathy 

Hearing the whole person, not just the task update.
It clarifies what’s happening and improves decisions.

2. Kindness 

Giving feedback with care, not shame.
It makes it easier to speak up, learn, and improve fast.

3. Integrity 

Same rules for everyone.
It lowers tension and saves time on unnecessary noise.

4. Responsibility 

Owning decisions, pace, and culture.
It replaces blame with conditions for growth.

Goal achievement doesn’t come from the most pressure.

It happens when you lead in a way that helps people:

↳ learn fast
↳ stay resourced
↳ speak the truth
↳ take ownership

Strong teams don’t happen by accident.

They’re built by leaders who practice these foundations daily.

Which of these foundations do you want to strengthen most in yourself right now?

When work gets hard, one thing changes everything.

Just 10 minutes of genuine attention.

The impact is stronger than any strategy.

Because people don’t need perfect coworkers.
They need human ones.

And kindness is what can keep a team together.

When kindness is missing, 
the team goes into toxic mode.

And then everything drops: 
initiative, speed, accountability.

So the fastest way to bring the energy back is simple: 
make people feel seen.

You don’t need a retreat.
You don’t need a new policy.

Sometimes a few minutes is enough.

Here are 12 acts of kindness that take just 10 mins:

1/ Bring in a small treat for your team.

2/ Offer to grab a coffee for someone who’s working hard.

3/ Compliment a coworker’s effort or work.

4/ Share a useful resource with your team.

5/ Thank your manager for their support.

6/ Simply smile and greet everyone warmly.

7/ Send a thank-you email to a helpful colleague.

8/ Check in on a stressed coworker.

9/ Write a quick LinkedIn recommendation.

10/ Highlight a colleague’s expertise in public.

11/ Praise someone’s idea in a meeting.

12/ Invite a new coworker for lunch or coffee.

None of these actions look “big.”

But together, they create big outcomes:

↳ build trust
↳ reduce tension
↳ help people feel seen
↳ keep strong people close

Because people don’t stay for bonuses.
They stay where they feel humanity.

Try just one today.
And watch what changes.

What’s the smallest act of kindness that once supported you the most?

The most common myths about success sounds like this:

→ You need a lucky break.
→ You need exceptional talent.
→ You need to be in the right place at the right time.

But success is built on everyday skills.
Most people just don’t practice them consistently.

Here are the most underrated skills for success:

S — Strategy See beyond today and plan for the long game.

U — Upskilling Keep upgrading your skills regularly.

C — Consistency Improve 1% every day with small consistent actions.

C — Collaboration Grow through strong partnerships and teamwork.

E — Execution Turn ideas into finished work, not endless plans.

S — Self-control Do what matters, even when motivation is low.

S — Sustainability Progress without exhaustion or burnout.

If you master these skills, you won’t just grow faster. 
You’ll build stable, long-term results.

Start with one skill this week and practice it daily.

After 500+ conversations with leaders, I learned one thing:

Strong leadership isn’t measured by the number of meetings you run.

It’s measured by the connections you maintain.

Most workplace relationships don’t “break.”
They fade.

Not because people don’t care.
But because the calendar wins.

Slack replaces real contact.
Meetings replace moments.
And “I’ll message later” turns into months.

So here’s one of the highest-ROI leadership habits:

Make it a habit to reach out to people just because they crossed your mind.

Not when there’s a problem.
Not when performance drops.
Not when you need something.

Just a quick check-in that says:
“I thought of you.”

This does more than being “nice.” 
It:

↳ builds trust across teams
↳ creates a culture where asking for help feels normal
↳ helps people feel seen before they start drifting away
↳ stops small misunderstandings from turning into friction

And it takes 30 seconds.
Try one today:

“You crossed my mind. How are you?”
“Your idea helped more than you think.”
“Quick note: I noticed your effort. Thank you.”

Leadership isn’t only about direction.
It’s also about connection.

Because teams don’t stay strong on strategy alone.
They stay strong on relationships.

What simple habit helps you stay connected with people at work?
