Fabulous Resource

I’ve been listening to Shelli Warren’s show Stacking your Team since it first aired. While I don’t have a team of five or more, I have still found her insights, actionable, insightful and entertaining. And now she’s dishing out tidbits for us smaller employers. Definitely give it a listen and subscribe!

Absolutely an Asset

Shelli continually blows my mind and calls me out in the best way. When I listen to her podcast I feel inspired to be better and do better without the weight of feeling like I have to lose myself in my job. She teaches balance in all things, your life and workplace. I know I’m becoming a better leader listening to her.
