Summary

Some companies invest in leadership training for only the elite few. What would happen if this education were more evenly dispersed into middle-management roles? And what if professional and personal development were part of one shared path, not two?

We recently worked with them and learned a lot - check it out! Drink coffee with a purpose: https://catandcloud.com/products/subscription Related Episodes!
