On this episode of Coach's Corner: A Success Mindset, I'm talking to Lauren Protentis, Strategic Communications expert in National Security. We discuss how making a plan isn't always the best path towards success, why your WHY is imperative, and Lauren even shares some of her harrowing travel experiences!
