This podcast is a conversation between Joyce Maroney, former Executive Director of the Workforce Institute and board member John Hollon and part of the series of podcasts we're hosting on key ideas from our most recently published book, Being Present:  A Practical Guide for Transforming the Employee Experience of Your Frontline Workforce. Here, John shares his advice for identifying and developing transferable skills.
