Never stop playing. Leading with a curious mind with Piera Gelardi

Piera Gelardi is one of the most creative and colorful spirits I have ever met. She is a natural storyteller, a multi-awarded entrepreneur, creative director, advisor, speaker, and mother, passionate about awakening creativity in everyone around her.
