Episode Synopsis
In this episode, I’m excited to introduce my brand new co-host, Lara Cullen, as we launch a new series within the podcast: Impactful Teams. We’re diving into what really makes a team impactful - not just in terms of performance, but in how aligned, influential, and sustainable their success is. Lara and I share our brand-new Impactful Teams framework to help teams grow their impact.
