If our conversation was helpful to you one of them is episode 284 the way to stop rescuing people from their problems Michael Bongay-Stanier was my guest on that episode. I'd also recommend episode 306 five steps to hold people accountable and then finally the question from Steve about household tasks got me thinking about an episode Bonnie and I did a while back episode 417 finding joy through intentional choices. If you're looking for something on management skills right now or handling tough conversations or strategy so many places you can go inside of our library it's all catalogs since 2011.
