Each day I listen to a podcast either on my morning walk to start the day, take a break from my desk during the work day or finish my day with intent. Listening to a podcast can set the tone for your day, change your thinking and set you up for success or just make you smile and laugh out loud.
As many of our clients take a break over Easter, I wanted to share some of the podcasts myself and the team are listening to inspire, educate and entertain our minds.
