It doesn't have to be lonely at the top!
As you move up the ranks from an entry-level job to senior managerial positions, you have fewer peers to confide in. And if you're a founder, you have even fewer peers. You’ll need to create an evolving circle of confidantes. It may not be easy, but it’s important to achieve. And when you do, it won’t be lonely at the top.

It doesn't have to be lonely at the top. Here are some tips:
Find a coach. Identify someone you trust to share your challenges and success with on a confidential basis. This relationshop can cover all aspects of your business, career, and overall life.
Surround yourself with people you can trust. Find your circle of advisors and people you can trust to share your challenges with. This should be a two-way relationship. They need to be able to rely on you just as you rely on them.
Speak at conferences. This will help you create more your connections and meet people who are also in senior roles. Put yourself in places where you’ll be among peers.
Involve yourself in hobbies and activities. Build relationships with people who can become confidantes outside of work. As you pursue hobbies and activities that you enjoy, those relationships will evolve and you’ll learn from each other.
