My favorite podcast

Sarah and Helen’s practical coaching advice helped me as I recently searched for my next internal role (more than the materials provided by my organization). I’ve gained confidence in so many aspects of work thanks to this podcast and the supporting podsheets. They are a joy to listen to!
