Benefits Like a Boss Podcast
Cold sweats, white knuckles, and big decisions. Leadership is about more than crunching budget numbers, creating company memos, and motivational speaking. True leadership arises when the stakes are high, facing the unknown, and when crisis is around the corner. These decisions have the power to change the personal and professional lives of those that count on you. Have you ever wondered what keeps other leaders like yourself up at night? Join us to hear leadership stories of impact and change! Produced and edited by: Tim Pogo [timpogo@timpogo.com]
