They are passionate about creating community and connecting people through conversations, looking at how things work, and don't, and where we align and have to be honest about differences. Mats has been working most recently as Director and General manager in the financial world and Ariel as Conscious Life and Businss Coach.With this Podcast we intend to shed light on Corporate culuture and effects by interviewing people in the corporate world and listening to their stories, their successes and failures and tackling some of the challenges that exist out there in the Corporate World: How do we lead with success? What is a good manager/leader? How do cultural differences impact the workplace? Are performance appraisals really needed? And, "How does corporate effect us all?" We will answer all these questions and more.
