Episode 76: Cross-border facilitation and leadership with Brett McGuire
I met today’s guest, Brett McGuire on my work travels to Indonesia last year. When I wanted to seek out a person to help me on the workshops I’m facilitating in Hong Kong later this month, I thought Brett would be able to give me some incredible insight, given his cultural and cross-border work with Bisnis Asia.
