The Seismic Shift in You👍 Recommends
…discussing the book as addressing disconnection and shifting from tasks to people
“So my whole brand is The Seismic Shift, right? So my first book, The Seismic Shift in Leadership, was I believe the biggest seismic shift is towards connection. This book addresses this disconnection epidemic that we're in, and it's more geared towards humans of how I truly believe, Ryan, we need to shift from the what to the who, and that's going to make all the difference.”
