Great content

I really enjoy the information you share in your podcast but sometimes the audio is hard to hear in some episodes if there was any way to improve this that would be awesome!

Viewing management from a clean lens

I first want to start off by saying!, Thank you for being open and honest with all of your podcasts. I am a woman manager and have been struggling finding my purpose and value in a male dominated industry. Listening to your podcasts have given me faith and hope that I can battle through the hard times and get to the end goals. I still have more bad days then good but I know the importance of working on myself each and every day.
