Pam Harper returns to the Small Business Advocate Radio Show

Based upon a recent Growth Igniters® Radio episode about the increasing pressure to always be “on” at work, I was invited to share my unique views on this issue as a guest on the nationally syndicated radio program The Small Business Advocate Show with host Jim Blasingame.

In the first segment, Jim and I discussed the elephant in the room regarding happiness at work, and who is responsible for creating a positive dynamic.

What does “Tidying Up” have to do with your company’s growth?

Like many Americans, we’ve become hooked on watching Marie Kondo’s Netflix series Tidying Up. It’s fascinating to see how Marie (a Japanese “tidying expert” who exudes peace, energy, and joy) works through a translator with American clients. Her principles help them become more mindful and create a more meaningful and joyful space to exist in the present and grow into the future.
