Earlier this week, I sat down to be interviewed for Shock Your Potential, a business podcast focused on “excellence in leadership, sales and the customer experience.” Michael Sherlock hosts the podcast; she reached out to me via LinkedIn after regularly picking up issues of Global Traveler in Delta Air Lines’ lounges around the country.
I was flattered she asked me, especially when I looked into the podcast further and noted she seeks out the “greatest examples” she can find to “share positive examples in business today.”
Some of the topics we covered included some background of my career, the people in my past that helped get me to where I am today, how our publications help people reach new potential and what I would tell the younger Kim. I’ll be sure to let everyone here know when the podcast is live sometime in July. In the meantime, however, be sure to check out past interviews on Shock Your Potential.
