Customer Reviews
Space to reflect, Ruby and Julia makes you realise how interdependent we are
I found this podcast through the Extraordinary Business Books podcast (I used to listen also to the amazing Editorial Intelligence podcasts which I avidly shared with everyone I met way back!).
Conversational listening and insights: when you’re able to keep it simple (sweetie) you’re able to be there for other people. Ruby Wax really stands up for that kind of insight: being aware of the weapons of mass distraction, Julia comes over as someone who passionately believes in the sanctity of the self and boundaries. Both people are on a journey to greater creativity that’s inspiring.
I’ll write about it on my blog when I’ve finished listening to the podcasts and have read the books. Keep up the great work people!
