Audible5Mom of 2United Statesa month ago - The good, the bad and the ugly with impact and humor
Ken and I started our businesses around the same time, so I have been learning from him for more than 15 years. We shared career-shaping boss stories (the good, the bad and the ugly) and rode out the Great Recession at the same time. You are the leader of your life and career whether you like it or not. Listen to this podcast to do it with grace and joy. Ken always has practical advice with a positive outlook.
