It's our 1 year anniversary! I can't believe I've had the privilege to talk with so many inspiring women over the last year. And this week is no exception.
In this episode of Her HypeSquad with Bosstrack, I sit down with Nikki Jones, CEO and Founder of Changility, to talk about change management, confronting fears, embracing change, and being awesome!
