Mar 12, 2021

In this episode, we have Cat and Andy talk about how and why people tend to be talking more to technology rather than to the person. In this conversation, you will understand servant leadership and become more aware of putting effort into building a connection with the people that will benefit from your idea or knowledge.

So, listen in now as you continue to develop your soft skills and flourish in your profession and in life!

The First Thing You Have To Do Is You Have To Understand Who You're Talking To.”
