Lawrence Loh on Connecting with Others and Your Inner Voice

Episode 29

On this Episode of Fulfillment Equation

In this week’s episode, I have the wonderful opportunity to chat with Dr. Lawrence Loh. Lawrence is a public health and physician leader, a lifelong learner and a self-described extreme extrovert. Our conversation focuses on connection; both with others and with ourselves. When it comes to connecting with others, Lawrence offers some simple tips. For example, asking during a catch-up with someone: “What’s next for you?” This phrase prompts conversation focused on ideas and interests, and it opens the door for future opportunities for collaboration, connection or fun adventures. Listen to the episode to hear two other simple tips for building strong habits around connecting with others!

We also talk about rebalancing after crisis fatigue, getting in touch with your inner voice and defining your own identity. And we bond over our mutual belief that most things work out and that most people are good. As Lawrence says, “it’s just mentally easier” to believe that!

Finally, we build Lawrence’s equation: 7F + 5fr + 5c + 4m + 7r + 16le + 1T

“Identity is what you say you are, not what others say you are.”

– Lawrence Loh
