Show Notes

In this podcast, Amit Garg speaks with Jenifer Tsang, Chief of Staff at Cisco, on how to solve the right problems in L&D. Jennifer has been with Cisco for about 19 years. She also runs her own podcast called ‘In the Lead’ and her passion is to empower people to unlock their leadership potential.
