Inner Work

How might we use Philosophy At Work? This is a question that my guest Dr Brennan Jacoby asks himself everyday, helping organisations and their people think their best and do more meaningful work, by giving teams the thinking tools needed to take their critical thinking, decision making and curiosity to the next level. You can find out more about Brennan's work in the links below. Enjoy the episode!
