The Business Uplifted Podcast
by Business Uplifted
The Business Uplifted podcast is a progressive shift in thinking to help you elevate your business and team to new levels. In some respects, it's also a matter of unlearning what we have been taught in business as rules to live by - that has led us down a path of team disengagement and lackluster results.The hosts, Aly and Mandy, share stories of having been raised in their corporate career by Baby Boomers that shaped their views of business- that they now spend their days unlearning. They consider themselves Gen X'ers with the hard outside shell of a Baby Boomer masked in a warm "why can't we all just get along?" heart of a Millennial, while secretly wondering if they could pull off yoga pants at work like Gen Z. Their unique perspective is sure to spark a shift in thinking and place you on the path to changing the dynamics, operations, and performance of your business or department so that you can create a business UP-lifted!
