Welcome to Episode Forty Nine (Season Three) of the Executive Career Jump Podcast with your host, Andrew MacAskill!

This week’s episode is a little different as it was a “live” with two of my fellow LinkedIn Changemakers Neil Laybourn and Sonya Barlow discussing how the world of work is changing like never before and what does version 2.0 looks and feel like. It was great to welcome lots of people from the ECJ community and discuss their questions with my fellow Changemakers.
