Welcome to episode 38, where we look at another of our principles of Productivity. This time, our attention turns to the role of Persistence - keeping going when we’re faced with discomfort, challenges and setbacks.   It’s another episode without Pilar, but I’m delighted to be joined by Paul Smith from WiseAmigo. Paul is a fellow psychologist and the founder of an app and system to support personalised development planning and tracking.     As ever, ‘My Pocket Psych’ is brought to you by the development experts at WorkLifePsych.
