Confessions of a Kindness Advocate - Season Two Finale!

Help me celebrate 🎉 a few things on the Season 2 Finale of Wednesday with Will LIVE! Podcast I am going solo this week to wrap up a wonderful run as well as share what I have learned in a year of producing and hosting my own podcast. Here are the topics I very much want to share with the audience: 1 - The Numbers: 52 weeks on air has flown by with the community built on kindness growing from 8,000 to over 30,000 in this time. I am eager to share the lessons learned with those who may wish to launch their own podcast or start their own business. 2 - The Lesson: This show reinforced the importance of the audience/customer/guest/visitor in my life and made me even more focused on helping the people who help the audience/customer/guest/visitor. 3 - The Mission: Making my case for why the world needs more leaders who lead with kindness and why I became a Kindness Advocate. This year long experience has forever changed me and the fact that I have been able to host Season Two from my second home of Rio de Janeiro is incredible. My intention for this episode is to give someone the courage and/or encouragement to go after that thing you know you want to do to become the person you are meant to be. Dreams do come true when you put in the work! Keeping it Kind, Will aspiring better human™️ #leadership #kindness #linkedin #experience #podcast #leaders #people

Let’s Talk Career Breaks with Cristina Ambroselli {S2 E2}

Super excited to have this conversation with Cristina Ambroselli, an incredible Leader and Mentor I had the privilege to work with for so many years. Together we were part of the team who helped reopen NYC after the 5 months of the 2020 lockdowns. Cristina spent 12 amazing years at The Metropolitan Museum of Art and took a career break to recover from being a working parent during the pandemic, settle her family into a new home, and refocus her professional priorities. She's on a journey to her next big (or maybe medium or small) thing and ready to talk about the importance of stepping back, taking time for family, and reflecting on what it is she wants to do. This will be a discussion for working parents or anyone who seeks balance in their life. Join us live on LinkedIn, Facebook, and YouTube. You can always catch the replay on any of these platforms as well. See aspiringbetterhuman.com for previous episodes of Wednesday with Will LIVE!

An inspiration for women embracing their third act, Diane is a tele-retailing legend who’s just getting started.
