    On this episode of the podcast, Barry had a great conversation with Debbie Nicol from Business En Motion Debbie tells her story from her early days in business. Of looking successful but not feeling content or authentic. Debbie goes into detail of how she was blaming someone else for not growing her and how her success in a career that wasn't connected to her was destined to fail. The learning from that early message was how can you lead anyone else, if you can't lead yourself. Fascinating conversation, incredible experience conveyed in stories and a real pleasure to speak with. Debbie now helps companies around the world dig into what is actually required to initiate change, but more importantly ensure that change is permanent and the old ways aren't defaulted back to.
