Where can I find more info about Paola Granati and her approach?
A good summary of what I do is really trans disciplinary work; i.e. work that cuts across the business HR space, the professional development space, the entertainment business, and the desire to make a difference in order to offer the most relevant and impactful experience to my clients.
But for more info, have a look at my bio and at what we do at PG Creative Businesses. You can also check me out on my YouTube channel and tune in to the World of Work Podcast, the WoW.
