Episode 56: If opportunity doesn’t knock with Rebecca Otis Leder

If there was an award for the easiest podcast interview to listen to, this chat with Rebecca Otis-Leder would be in the top spot for sure. In a little over 40 minutes we talk all about creating space for opportunities and how important relationships are to our work life, and even our health. Did you know that a lack of social connection can increase our risk of death by up to 50%? It’s comparable to smoking 15 cigarettes a day!  In this interview Rebecca tells us how we can create more meaningful relationships.
