In this motivational excerpt, Jennifer K. Hill attributes the current "loneliness epidemic" to a widespread disconnection from ourselves and each other. She shares a daily practice she adopted after a mastermind session: each morning, before getting out of bed, ask yourself a probing question that can shift perspective. She illustrates the power of reframing through a story about a team member on a performance improvement plan (PIP) who was about to be terminated; a colleague suggested that perhaps the disappointment stemmed from the manager’s expectations. The core invitation is for listeners—regardless of gender or identity—to consciously look for the good in themselves first and then in everyone they work with or mentor, fostering connection and personal growth.

Why is this happening? Why is there a loneliness epidemic sweeping the world right now? It is due to our disconnection with ourselves and one another. My invitation to you is every day before you get out of bed, ask yourself this question that was posed to me in a mastermind with some of the greatest minds of the world several years ago and changed my life. So in this particular case, she was on a PIP, a performance improvement plan, and we were getting ready to terminate her. And he came in and he said to me, I'll always remember this, Stephen, he said, Jennifer, what if the reason she is being a disappointment is because you are looking for her to be a disappointment?
So my message, my requests, my invitations of each and every one of us, whether we're a man, a woman, masculine, feminine, whatever, whoever we might be, is that we look for the good. That we look for the good in ourselves first and foremost, and that we look for the good in everybody we work with, everyone we mentor.
