How can pain become your cure? ?? - a podcast by Brigitta Toruño

I am honored today to be chatting with Misti Burmeister – an UNO Soul.  She is an author, speaker, and an executive coach. Washington Business Journal named Misti among the top women who mean business.
 
She has served as an executive coach and trainer to such major organizations as Johns Hopkins Carey School of Business, Marriott, Johnson & Johnson, AT&T, the United States Navy, and the Environmental Protection Agency.

Misti is a serial disruptor who has worked with leaders across industries to drive engagement across generations. Comfort, complacency, and fear thwart growth—it is for this reason leaders look to Misti for her fresh perspective and ability to instigate enthusiasm, engagement and growth. Her 4th book, Provoking Greatness, offers a unique approach to revealing the talent hidden within your team.
