Dream:Reality Introduction
Dream:Reality by Idunn Consulting
#DreamReality
Change is now.
Humans are normally uncomfortable with change, but over the last 12 months we have changed behaviours and rituals more than ever before. We need to keep some of this momentum and carry forward to our work life, and our home life.
In this podcast series we will talk to change makers, innovators and leaders from around the globe who will not sit still. Who will not accept the status quo. But will challenge, and innovate for the future.
Now is an opportunity. What will you do?
