Why Strong Workplace Relationships Are Built, Not Collected

In this episode of Relationships at Work, host Russel Lolacher speaks with executive coach and leadership expert Payal Nanjiani about what it really takes to build meaningful relationships at work. They explore why networking becomes ineffective when it is transactional, how trust is strengthened through consistency and vulnerability, and why leaders need relationships across every level of an organization. Payal also shares how self-awareness, boundaries and genuine curiosity can help people move beyond simply making contacts to building connections that support better leadership, stronger teams and long-term career growth.
