Send Leanne a messageBonus episode coming to you this week. I was invited onto The Morning Kick, a morning huddle hosted by Andrew Pitchford and the team from Excite Media. Last week, I posted on LinkedIn about the double-mindedness we can all go through trying to be authentic at this time and how to be present, real, but have empathy while still being about the business.  How many plates are we spinning when we turn up online?  Join Andrew and I as we discuss how to show up as a business owner on social during this time.  If you like the format of this conversation, you can join their morning huddles by joining their FB group called Business Thrival Mastermind.
