In the latest instalment of the Recruitment Leadership Podcast, your host Alison Humphries is joined by expert Leadership Coach and author, Zena Everett. 

Zena has a rare cocktail of entrepreneurial, head-hunting, organisational psychology and coaching experience. In her early career, Zena founded and developed a recruitment business, and became increasingly interested as to why some candidates were more confident and successful than others.

To explore this interest further, Zena sold the recruitment business and pursued a master's degree in organisational psychology and psychological training. 

In Zena’s latest book, The Crazy Busy Cure, she draws from her many thousands of hours coaching and speaking to people about productivity blockers and how to shift them.

In this episode, Alison and Zena discuss time management and productivity in the context of the recruitment industry; covering key areas and providing expert advice, this episode is not one to be missed.
