Episode 11 | RESET with Johnny C. Taylor, Jr.
Think back to where we were in March of 2020. So many of us were at work, realizing that we were about to go home.
And while we thought it was temporary at the time, many of us are still from home today.
What our guest for this episode, Johnny C. Taylor, Jr., quickly realized was that 2020 was more than a pause… it was a complete reset. Instead of continuing where we left off, it forced millions of us to instead start completely over.
Hence the title and motivation behind his brand new book, RESET – A Leader’s Guide To Work In An Age of Upheaval.
Johnny joins Melissa to share more about his book, but also talks through practical strategies and tips around how we can all continue to move forward to adjust, and sustain success within the workplace.
