Episode 12- 5 People. 40% of Your Energy. Are You Investing Wisely?

Leadership loneliness affects 50% of CEOs. The science of Dunbar's Number explains why—and what to do about it.

British anthropologist Robin Dunbar discovered your brain can only maintain about 150 meaningful relationships. But here's what nobody tells leaders: those relationships are layered. Your inner 5 people receive 40% of your relational energy. The next 10 get another 20%. That's 60% of your social bandwidth—going to just 15 people.

The Connection Audit deepens your understanding of your relational energy to gain more conscious awareness around your loneliness.

In this episode, you'll learn:

→ Why successful leaders feel isolated despite being surrounded by people

→ The 4-Zone Connection Framework for auditing your relationships

→ How to protect your "Anchor Circle" (your essential 5)

→ The science behind relational energy and cognitive limits #BusinessPodcast
