Aren't Ya Tired Of? Smart Conversations for Living & Working Well

About Aren't Ya Tired Of? Smart Conversations for Living & Working Well

Join Mark Benton — VP of HR with experience at companies like PepsiCo and now McKesson — and Patti Johnson, former CEO, Board member, bestselling author, and strategic coach and advisor — for smart, funny, and real conversations about the things we’re all tired of — and, most importantly, what to do about them. They first worked together at Accenture and now bring their humor, honesty, and experience to topics that hit home — like being addicted to busyness, expecting too much of yourself (and everyone else), and finding your voice. It’s not their first rodeo — which is exactly why their insights and fresh ideas work in real life, helping you work and live just a little better.
