What's Next Now!From Tech Start-up to Yoga Founder!Welcome back, friends! I am back with a new episode of What's Next Now! and am happy to be joined by Susan Mondi Bowen, my yoga teacher, mentor, and friend! She was among the first 500 employees at Salesforce.com, working in the early days of Silicon Valley when internet startups were still considered risky bets.

What's Next Now!The impact of saying, 'I See You'It's incredible how just three simple words, "I see you," can profoundly impact our business and personal relationships. As leaders-whether starting a company, leading a division or playing a key member role-it's crucial to understand the value of these words. Using them effectively can create deeper connections with those around us: customers, colleagues and strategic partners and these deeper connections are crucial in this environment. Inspiration for the story today came from a personal experience when I was the first to arrive on a video call (one of several in a row). As I asked if anyone could see m...
