Thought Provoking Conversations in Keeping Your Seat at the Table

First off, Janice and Nori had this fantastic chemistry that made the whole podcast incredibly engaging. It was like eavesdropping on a conversation between close friends.

The theme of keeping our seat at the table as older women really struck a chord with me. It's a concept I hadn't given much thought to, but the discussion got me thinking. The idea that women our age might not always be great listeners gave me pause. I asked myself, "Do I do that?"

I want to say, “no” but I think there could be some truth there… lol.

I am definitely adding Nori’s book to my “to-read” list.

Genuine conversations with great inspirations

Janice has a wonderful, down-to-earth conversation style that she uses to great effect to draw out the guest’s best stories and illustrate their message. I listened to the Kind Folks Finish Last with Sam Jacobs. I received great insights on networking as a service opportunity. Janice knows how to pic guests that perfectly illustrate her relationships theme. I will be listening to more!
