Work Savvy
Tune into the Work Savvy podcast for a fortnightly dose of inspiration and insights on Leadership and Self-Mastery. Host Karen Gately talks to leading experts and successful business leaders about being a great leader of people and thriving at both work and in life. Our guests are people who have learned powerful lessons through experience and share their wisdom through the inspiring stories they tell. In our WTF @ Work segment we talk about some of the crazier things that happen in the workplace. While there is often a serious lesson to be learned from the stories we share, we also manage to have a laugh at just how absurd people and workplaces can be. We can’t wait for you to listen and learn how to Work Savvy! Listen to the latest episode below or explore our library to listen to those you’ve missed. https://www.corporatedojo.com/
