The Key to Thriving in Business and Life from Investing in Yourself with Gayle Goodman

Business is Human

"Rather than being polished like marbles, life and business should be embraced with the imperfections and complexities of a jigsaw puzzle, where every piece matters and fits together."

In this episode, Rebecca Fleetwood Hessian and host of the Choice Wisdom podcast Gayle Goodman dive into the evolving landscape of work, emphasizing the shift from fear-based management to nurturing environments that prioritize compassion, connection, and authenticity.
