Tom Mebert returns to be with us again on UrStoria (see Episode 3 “Be Your Authentic Self”). Tom’s back to take us through all of the events of late that have made him even more passionate about spirituality. We discuss how professionals who want to develop and be successful in their careers can negotiate and balance the dichotomy between spirituality and the workplace. Are they so different? Do you need to give up one for the other?
