Authenticity
Your guide to nailing it!
This blog centres on both random and (hopefully) fascinating life topics but today I wanted to talk a little shop, from the point of view of hitting your career and work goals. I am privileged to mentor for the Chartered Institute of Marketing in the UK as well as a few individuals locally and am …
