Summary

Totally Booked: LIVE! In this special episode of the podcast (in-person at the Whitby Hotel with a live audience!), Zibby chats with New York Times bestselling author Suzy Welch about BECOMING YOU, an inspiring and highly practical guide for identifying the career that is meant for you.

She emphasizes how not everyone is meant to be a leader and the importance of knowing your aptitudes and values to make better career and life choices.
