jeudi 6 février 2025 • Duration 08:04

Starting this month, I’m excited to introduce a new series called Tools to Work Your Way, where we’ll explore practical tools for self-discovery and career growth.

From leadership development tools to more spiritual frameworks, these resources have been instrumental in my own personal growth journey. And I’m confident they’ll empower you to bring more of yourself to your work, too. 

Each episode will also feature a co-host, a friend, or a colleague who shares my passion for the tool. Together, we’ll discuss what these tools can teach you and how to apply them to your own career. Join us on the first Thursday of each month as we explore a new tool to help you work your way!
