Categories:
A former broadcaster on Virgin Radio Dubai, HBO Asia and CNBC, Simone Heng seeks to inspire others to connect in a meaningful way. Simone’s first book, 'Secret Pandemic: The Search for Connection in a Lonely World', explains how her upbringing impacted on her ability to connect and what she learned on the journey to reconnection. Andy focuses on the importance of connecting at a professional level, Simone examines the need for connection at a personal, human level and social media is an important tool by the use of engaging content. That engagement lays the foundation for the professional connections explored in this podcast. Simone's story is a very personal one and highlights the cultural differences of the East and West. Andy and Simone also discuss the changes that have taken place with virtual and hybrid working and how a phone call to 'hear your smile' and using the time in the office for connection with colleagues is so important.
