Show Notes

Having now completed all of Amplify questions, in this episode, Jonathan reflects on the difference it’s made both to him as a leader and to his vision of change. Was it worth all that “heavy lifting”? You’ll discover why this is a critical part of a leader’s communication, and yet is sadly rarely done.
