Magic
I have learned so much from these ladies. Thank you so much 💙
My favourite podcast
I look forward to these every week now and always listen during my drive to work. They always share such interesting and well researched content in an easy to digest way. They sound like they have great chemistry together and come across very authentically. Their additional resources are also really useful for further reflection or sharing with other people. I want to setup my own internal podplus group where we talk about the latest episode...but need to recruit more fans first.
A highlight of my week
I look forward to every new episode, they all give me so much to think about! Helen and Sarah are so thoughtful, smart, and empathetic, and their drive to always be learning and growing is so inspiring. I think about my career completely differently and much more proactivelu now thanks to them (not only this podcast, but their books too!).
