Build a Better Now

Kim Meninger
About this episode

In this episode of the Impostor Syndrome Files, we talk about how to create a meaningful “now” in the midst of everything going on in the world around us. With the upcoming election here in the US, volatility across the world and constant negativity on social media and the news, how do we get back on track and shift our attention to building a better now? This week, I talk with Greg Bennick, keynote speaker and author of the book, Reclaim the Moment: Seven Strategies to Build a Better Now. Here we talk about steps we can all take to embrace optimism, positivity and kindness in an increasingly negative world. We also talk about ways in which teams can use these ideas collectively to create more engagement and inclusion.
