Подкаст «The Lounge with Yolanda Fraction (On Leadership, Professional Development, and Life)»

One of my favorite things about a lounge is the ability to meet with old friends and make new ones in a relaxed environment. Research shows that peer to peer learning is one of the most common ways to learn something new and grow your skills. With each episode, imagine that you're in a hotel or airport lounge meeting all levels of professionals from different industries, sectors and fields. You'll meet C-Suite executives to emerging leaders. The one thing that unites us all is the desire to become our best self yet, and support others in becoming their best self as well.
