Here's what Kathryn and Maureen cover: How personal practices impact your professional growth and leadership effectiveness;The many ways journaling, walking, and “mindful moments” unlock your full potential in the workplace; andHow to inspire and motivate your team with a sense of humor and generally boosting joy at work.

    Dec 3 2024
    Guest: Greg Moran, Former Ford Senior Executive How do you negotiate the best deal possible?
