On a granular level, work cultures are made of relationships, and relationships are made of interactions. Every interaction we make has the opportunity to benefit our relationships or potentially cause damage. In work, where relationships are the backbone of collaboration, productivity, engagement and teamwork, interactions are important to get right.\\xa0

But it\\u2019s not always that easy, or that simple. Even before the pandemic triggered a lockdown and work from home, we weren\\u2019t always succeeding. Now that we\\u2019re working remotely with increased distraction and less direct contact, or on the front lines as essential workers under tremendous pressures, the dynamics have gotten even more complicated. Zoom fatigue and incivility are just two factors undermining our working relationships, whether we\\u2019re aware of them or not.


Today, Robin Rosenberg, CEO and Founder of Live in Their World, as well as an executive coach and clinical psychologist, joins #WorkTrends to talk about the best practices for improving our work interactions and our empathy for each other, and learning how to repair the damage before it adds up to an impasse. Robin\\u2019s organization, Live in Their World, uses VR technology to teach us not just how to walk in each other\\u2019s shoes, but \\u201cin their feet,\\u201d to truly experience their perspective and build bridges rather than walls.
