                      Let’s end the year with a super-sized episode of the Comfy Chairs!

                      I’m joined by Maggie, my friend and fellow Xavier University alumnae, for a conversation that includes thoughts on the reality TV survival show “Alone,” red carpet appearances, and artificial intelligence. Which obviously means we are talking about how new employee onboarding drives engagement.
