    Fantastic Show
    I’ve been following Aicha for a while and couldn’t wait for her episode to come out and listen to her story, insights, experience and WOW, did she deliver or what? Her challenge is one I think every leader can and should utilize for their team’s growth and for their own influence. I must say Laura’s show was a pleasure to listen to! She’s a very engaging and compelling interviewer who draws you in with her questions and humor.

    David Cohen interview
    Terrific opportunity to hear a Philly success story. Have admired him from afar as an impressive communicator and public presence. His charisma and willingness to reveal the steps he went through in how to move ahead with ‘block and tackling’ your way forward. His commitment to constant learning was a reminder to us all in becoming better-stronger-wiser in our pursuits.
