Master Coach Joyce Odidison on Resilience, Goals & Ending Workplace Conflict

Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with Winnipeg-based resilience expert, workplace conflict specialist, and Master Certified Coach Joyce Odidison.

Joyce helps individuals and organizations prevent burnout before it happens using her proprietary Wellbeing Intelligence System® and Resilience Diagnostic Platform.
