A Better You (Part 2)

A Better You (Part 2)

Second in a series

It's amazing how far we can go when life stands still.

Last week's newsletter kicked off a month-long series on becoming "A Better You." Featuring four popular episodes from my podcast I Wish They Knew, the round-up offered great insights on discovering our hidden influence, developing a plan for productivity, growing sideways in our careers and finding that missing spark of motivation.

Summertime is the perfect time for rethinking and reflecting. The stillness of summer provides just the right amount of time and space for self-discovery – which just so happens to be the theme of I Wish They Knew.

Now heard in 35 countries around the world, the show features world-renowned business leaders, media personalities, bestselling authors and education reformers. It explores big ideas in short conversations – from learning to loss, purpose to public speaking, work to wellness, and, of course, feedback.

Which is why I'm excited to share another batch of episodes to help you become...a better you.

If any of these episodes move you, be sure to let others know about them, too!
