The book explores how we can go deeper in our daily relationships and emerge with a quality and quantity of relationships that we never dreamed of - and how we can enjoy the long-term success that often comes with these types of relationships.

Hear from our panel of experts on the hot topic of returning to the office after lockdown. Our panel includes an attorney, HR executive, real estate broker and architect discussing all aspects of the challenges facing organizations post pandemic lockdown.  This program is the second in a series, meant to bring you up-to-date!

This smart and timely repeat panel includes:
