Welcome to the second season of the You Belong in The C-Suite podcast!

We kick off the year with a profound conversation on human connection, empathy, and the transformative power of self-awareness.

Help Laura welcome family therapist, Shari Foos as they delve into the science of bringing people together by building meaningful connections through story, fostering authentic conversations, and using a humanistic approach to create a positive work environment.
