Welcome to this new episode of the MACE PODCAST!

My guest is Bonnie Low Kramen from United States and this is a very special episode. It's not a coincidence that I invite again Bonnie as a guest to discuss about burn and actual topics hitting our workplace.

Why is this episode so special?

Well, to make it, I had to listen to the whisper that's deep inside and that won't let go easily. That Whisper is the passion to drive things forward, the passion to go above and beyond, to make the difference, to bring an added value and to be recognized for what done with such incredible passion.

Each one has that whisper and everyone should listen to it, to go the extra mile and make the change happen, what's aimed and looked for

With Bonnie we're going to speak about three topics:

- Career Management: in collaboration with Kim Pilkington, Bonnie wrote an article focused on the PURPOSE and INTENTION when driving your career, being you the Chief Career Office (CCO) of you incorporated. What does it mean? Which are the steps to drive your career? Do you know that one of the factor of quitting is lack of career development and opportunities?

Link to the article: https://executivesupportmagazine.com/embracing-ambition/

-Office Environement: Remove vs Office, proximity Bias, dual society in organizations, conflict and Leadership. How working remotely can collide with the office-based job and what's the hybrid all about?

- Culture: Companies run business to make money but.. what then? What's about Culture? Which is the role leaders play in instilling the culture in their staff?

Stay tuned and enjoy our conversation!
