Workday Playdate 176: Three Reasons to Try Something You’ve Never Done Before with Anna Oakes
Allowing yourself to be a beginner isn’t just a phrase, it’s a life-altering freedom.
Anna Oaks is a change agent focused on restoring humanity into both our work and workplaces. Raised by hippies, she’s always had a natural inclination to leave the world better than we found it. She brought this proclivity from her childhood into over two decades of work in small, mid-sized, and large companies focusing on strategy, growth, and culture.
In this episode, Erin and Anna discuss why it’s not just important—but essential—to try something you’ve never done before and how it acts as a catalyst for your growth as a leader and a human being.
