Using Poetry as a Medium of Cultivating Professional Leadership with Abigail Prout
In today’s episode, Massimo is joined by Abigail Morgan Prout, a passionate advocate for poetry as a medium of cultivating professional leadership.

She returned with her husband Clive to Washington State to live on the small island where she grew up to raise their two children, Iona and Jax. She can be found rambling, singing, and listening in the coastal forest every morning with her silky black lab, Bella.
