Episode 5: Ann Shoket on The Importance of Connection

Ann Shoket is CEO of TheLi.st and Founder of TheLi.st (https://theli.st/), the Founder of New Power Media, and the Founder of 10 Minutes to Togetherness. (https://www.10minutestotogetherness.com/). She is a Media Brand Builder, a Women’s and Next Gen Expert, Bestselling Author and past Editor-in-Chief of Sevententeen Magazine. With each achievement in her career, it has been Shoket’s mission to help women and the next generation of leaders stem into their power and to redefine success-on their own terms. Shoket made her mark launching iconic media brands including Seventeen and CosmoGIRL. Most recently, as owner and CEO of TheLi.st, a nationwide community of high-impact women and non-binary leaders, she is using her platform to  shine a light on the impact of the loneliness epidemic on women at work and the solution that will help them rise--togetherness. Shoket wrote a widely acclaimed book, The Big Life, which was hailed by the New York Times as “a guide for women in their 20s and 30s who are hungry for a job they love, a supportive network of friends, respect from their bosses and partners who want all those things for them as badly as they do.”We invited Ann to speak about connectivity as we noticed in our own research that after a loss, people who are grieving tend to feel isolated, and this can be made even worse if they don’t already have a strong network both personally and professionally to help them navigate moving forward.
