S1 E3 · Practice Guide
The Proximity Audit
Free companion workbook · Loneliness in Leadership
Human-centered leaders are often the loneliest people in the building. This guide is the companion to S1 E3 of Brave Proximity, where Marissa Green and Susan Page unpack the isolation that comes with trying to lead differently inside a system designed for a different kind of leader. Use it to map where you are, find the allies already around you, and build the intentional connections that make brave leadership sustainable.
What’s inside
The Isolation Inventory
1
How lonely is your leadership, really? Three checkpoints to assess the gap between the human-centered leader you want to be and the professionally distant one the system has shaped.
The Alliance Map
2
Who are the people in your organisation trying to do the same thing you are — and how far away are you from each other? A canvas for identifying and building intentional proximity.
The Connection Scripts
3
Language for reaching out to the human-centered allies already in your building — without the corporate awkwardness that makes those conversations harder than they need to be.
The Proximity Practice
4
One specific, actionable change to how you show up with your team this week that moves you from professional distance toward genuine human connection.
