Dear Arlene,
According to Tao Te Ching — ‘When the student is ready, the teacher will appear”.
Loved this episode! This one, spoke to me.
After listening to it, I bought Energy Leadership by Bruce D. Schneider. I look forward to reading it, to understand the most important personal resource of all — energy and how to harness it, to achieve success in the workplace and my personal life.
Keep up the good work!
Warmest,
Paula S. Atkinson

Thank you for listening Paula! This conversation with Lisa was an illuminating one for me too. I am reading Feel the Fear and Do it Anyway which was recommended in one of the earlier episodes but Energy Leadership is definitely on my list too.
