Listen "Letting Go"
Episode Synopsis
What are you holding onto.. that's actually holding you back?
In this mini-podcast, Thembi and Jonathan look around the workplace at where people need to 'let go'. You might need to delegate a favourite project.. give up your comfort way of doing things.. or leave behind the luxury of the 'junior mindset' where you know somebody else will sort it out.
