Then comes the part where you focus on learning and observe the environment you’re in so you can “meet people where they are” and help to drive positive career enhancing change. The Reach West Radio Show welcomes Jon Decoteau, SHRM’s Divisional Director West and the California Field Services Leader.

Then comes the part where you’re a corporate executive gone rogue who challenges others to think differently and not be afraid to challenge themselves. The Reach West Radio Show welcomes Jason Lauritsen, a keynote speaker, author and advisor on all things employee engagement and workplace culture.

Then comes the part where you love learning, and being a former traditional college professor helps you re-imagine what higher education can be by launching your own college. The Reach West Radio show welcomes Michelle Jones, the Founder, President and Chief Academic Officer at Wayfinding Academy.

Then comes the part where you believe that life is a team exercise and that true collaboration means expecting and envisioning greater opportunities that never occur in solitude. The Reach West Radio show welcomes Ron Thomas, the founder of the Strategy Focused Group, an international consulting firm based in Dubai.

Then comes the part where escaping the mental illness of a loved one when you’re younger comes full circle and informs your decision to be an advocate for others today. A new season of the Reach West Radio show welcomes Ally Golden, author of A Good Soldier, a moving memoir that captures the isolation and pain that can come from having a loved one with a mental illness.
