Deep Work Out Loud (Official Trailer)
The Other 50% - a herstory of hollywood
Welcome to Deep Work: Out Loud, The thinking that fuels our life, our work, and our leadership. I’m Julie Harris Oliver. This is the podcast where I sit with another professional coach and we do some work around a single concept, piece of inspiration, a topic we’ve seen come up in coaching. If we’re very lucky, while talking about it, we might demonstrate what coaching might look and feel like. But we’ll see how this goes. It’s all an experiment. With any luck, you will leave with something you can apply and use in your work or your life or both.
