On this episode, I'm joined by the wonderful Jo Harley. *Jo's Bio: * With a background in hospitality operations, Jo ran employee engagement consultancy Purple Cubed (previously learnpurple) for over 20 years, working with organisations on culture, purpose and values, embedding that through leadership capability and underpinning with technology.
