How Networks Can Help Reduce Stress

 

Does your network help reduce your stress? Earlier this year, we had the opportunity to talk with Naava Frank and Ziva Mann, authors of the article "How to Reduce Stress and Increase Learning: The Power of Professional Networks." Join us as we discuss how our network connections can help support us in difficult times.

Naava is the director of Knowledge Communities where she consults to foundations and nonprofits to launch and support the growth of networks and communities of practice.

Ziva is the Director of Assessment and Development at Ascent Leadership Networks, where she assesses leaders and helps them and their organizations develop in the ways that matter most.

In this episode, they talk about why they wrote the article, share stories of how networks have helped people support each other, and provide their unique insights into connection, community, learning, and more.

Find the episode here, or subscribe on Apple Podcasts (iTunes), Google Podcasts, or Stitcher. And now on Audible!
