A Must for Young Professionals

How to choose my career? What skills do I need to be successful at work? Where is the best resource to build those skills? How do I network with professionals? These are common questions asked by any young professionals. The Sharpen Podcast is the one-stop-shop to answer these questions. Kirby Green in her inimitable style asks insightful questions to guests from various walks of career trajectories. Highly recommended.
