A Must Listen for Anyone Interested in Leadership and Self-Awarness
Dr. Nia is an excellent interviewer with a sharp mind. It is impossible to listen to this podcast and not to learn something!
Fear is the greatest driver for growth in the human experience
Self-awareness is a critical skill to develop and unfortunately there is only a small percentage of the world who takes the time to examine their motivation, thinking and behavior and make significant changes. Nia Thomas knows how to ask the right questions and open up the discussion for greater knowledge. Really enjoyed our conversation.
