  • @edolan
    super relevant and concise
    …with perfect balance of empathy for front-line knowledge workers.
  • Rachelabauer
    So relatable!
    I love listening to Isabel interview. She has such a natural style and is so honest in all of her discussions. She can take any topic and make it feel approachable and actionable. Don’t miss this if you are in Human Resources, or even just a professional (especially a manager of people) of any kind.
