Bestselling author and leadership speaker Nick Jonsson is launching a 2026 global tour focused on addressing executive loneliness and strengthening team psychological safety as a foundation for sustainable performance.
-- Singapore | Stockholm | New York — January 21, 2026 — Nick Jonsson, bestselling author of Executive Loneliness and a recognized voice on leadership wellbeing, has announced a 2026 global speaking tour aimed at addressing what he describes as a growing but often unspoken challenge in modern organizations: executive isolation and its impact on team performance.
The tour will span North America, Europe, and Southeast Asia, featuring keynote talks, executive coaching sessions, and team workshops designed to help organizations build cultures of trust, openness, and psychological safety.
Recent research underscores the urgency of the issue. A Harvard Business Review study reports that 50% of CEOs experience loneliness in their role, while a 2023 study led by Jonsson found that 84% of senior leaders in Singapore do not feel safe admitting to loneliness at work. Meanwhile, Gallup data from 2024 indicates that only 21% of employees globally believe their employer genuinely cares about their wellbeing.
Addressing a Silent Leadership Challenge
As organizations navigate rapid technological change, AI adoption, and increasing performance pressure, many leaders are experiencing burnout behind the scenes. Jonsson’s tour focuses on helping leadership teams recognize how emotional disconnection at the top can influence trust, communication, and long-term results across the organization.
“Psychological safety is no longer a ‘nice to have’,” Jonsson said. “In complex environments, it determines how quickly teams learn, adapt, and perform.”
Psychological Safety and Performance
Jonsson’s work draws on established research, including Google’s Project Aristotle and studies by Harvard professor Amy Edmondson, which identify psychological safety as a critical factor in high-performing teams. Supporting industry findings show that organizations with higher levels of trust experience improved decision-making, lower burnout, and stronger retention.
Insights from Deloitte’s 2025 Human Capital Trends and KPMG’s Global CEO Outlook further emphasize the role of safe environments in enabling innovation and responsible adoption of emerging technologies.
