A short episode, but maybe one of the most important to date on the podcast! I used to be someone who always replied, "Really busy!" when asked how I was.

Now we’re seeing that increasing numbers of employees are considering l...

But there are some keys to setting effective goals and most importantly to implementing and even exceeding them. Tune in to get some practical and actionable tips and start your ...

There are often many factors involved, from feeling wary about managing a work/life balance to wondering if one is a good fit for the role. In this episode, Ann focussed on one often highlighted issue: “I don’t have enough experience.” How can we move forward from this and develop leadership qualities, skills and mindset if we don’t have the title on the door?
