Kent R.

After writing Stop Hating Mondays, we realized that we wanted a platform to go deeper into the themes of that book. Additionally, after years of advising individuals and corporations on all things change related, we wanted a way to share even more of those ideas and insights.

Each quarter, we’ll be taking on a new theme and delivering a series of podcasts that explore that theme from many angles. Most importantly, we’ll be sharing ideas, tips, and tools that you can use as you work to be more fulfilled in all aspects of your life.
