20 Minutes with Bronwyn

Ever feel like you're living in a washing machine? Like every day is another spin on the hamster wheel of never ending assignments? Enter The Life Brief.

Creative living and alignment ... sounds a helluva lot more appealing than the hamster wheel/washing machine. Bonnie gives us the scoop on where the idea came from, and how it can bring sanity and meaning to our lives.

Listening has a real PR problem... it sounds passive, and it sounds like something we already know how to do. But the truth is, deep listening is an art, a science... a super skill.
