Which software do we use? How much does it cost? Do we make money? Tune in for all the A’s to your Q’s.

We’re joined today by Christine Bader, a a coach, facilitator, writer, consultant, and speaker whose sweet spot is the messy intersection of business and society. Christine and her business partner Eva Dienel launched a new storytelling platform called The Life I Want, a storytelling project reimagining a future of work that works for all.

With COVID-19 at the top of all of our minds, it’s been difficult to think about continuing to post podcast subjects unrelated to this pandemic. But thanks to some of our online and podcast gurus, we know sometimes podcasting can be a welcome break from all this pandemic talk. Today, we’re talking about the “glass cliff” for women in business and in politics. Join us and share with us your feedback and thoughts on this important topic.

Marcy and Rae are in-person in Chicago and catching up on their goals for 2020, careers and lives. They’re also giving a preview of what’s to come this Spring on Office Baggage.

Our guest today is a self-identified “human dynamics junkie” who is a true expert at integrating multiple facets of her work and personal life into her day-to-day life. From dance to a “side hustle” leading a 7,500 person Facebook discussion group, Leah’s passions extend far beyond her 9 to 5. How can we all strive to bring more of our values, passions and our whole selves to our day-to-day? Listen and learn!

So much of our connectivity with others today is online – whether in personal interactions or professional. We’re all guilty of not “looking up” from our phones to truly connect with one another in person. Our guest today, Camille Virginia, has built her business around “Offline Dating” and you’re going to want to hear our conversation with her whether you’re single or in a relationship. We can all use Camille’s tips and tricks to feel more connected and confident.
