In episode 129, I speak with Annalise Jennings, a global speaker, coach, a business and community strategist. She has a background in risk management and 25 years’ experience in Corporate Banking. Over her career, she has specialized in projects that focus on transformation and maximizing human potential. A chance meeting with some Aboriginal elders took her on a journey was not expecting, but which was totally aligned with her values. The result was that she impacted many Aboriginal communities and changed her own life. Her mantra is her key: 'Drop the rock, be the ripple effect'. This is a powerful and inspiring conversation that should not be missed.
