Ask yourself what do I love doing and what is important to me? - Kimberly Whittaker
On the show, we usually talk about networking. This is a perfect example of the power of networking. Our guest Kimberly Whittaker and the show host Nicole Scheffler met a few years back through a lean in circle. Now, they have reconnected for this interactive episode which showcases the power of coaching in only a few minutes.
