On this, International Women’s Day 2022 I would like to put a spotlight of some of the fantastic women that have been wonderful guests on my Win Happy podcast over the last six months.
I have chosen twenty one different women for this post, all very diverse in terms of what they do and their stories, all interesting in their own right.
A huge thank you to each of them for their time and their passion.
To these, my special female colleagues in Fuzion Communications and all of my fantastic female friends, my daughter, my mum and of course Dee, have a great day ….I salute you!
I hope you click and enjoy some of these special conversations.
