Connections - November 2008 - (Page 22) Spice of Life Often times, two high rollers dine together simply because “It’s lonely at the top,” said Maggie Craddock, president and founder of Workplace Relationships, an executive coaching and change management firm based in Lancaster, Pa. and New York City. “High-powered people are constantly bombarded with relentless demands. Many people don’t have a lot of perspective on the work/life balance. Money can surely buy many things but it cannot buy balance. When these two individuals come together, it’s because they have a shared perspective,” said Craddock. “Lunch is a place for them to be human. It’s a place for them to get down to it on a more human level,” said Craddock. If workers in every echelon utilized this human element, Craddock believes the intimidating façade would crumble and it would be simply two people who would share an honest lunch. Craddock advises a straightforward lunch invitation because people make constant advances toward high-powered individuals. THE EXPERIENCE TO BUILD WHAT MATTERS TO YOU.
