Personal Development at Home
In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, many of us are enjoying some extra time at home. While we miss the opportunities to connect with each other face to face, this time has provided us all a chance to dive into some new personal development content.
With so many options available, we reached out to some JLT leaders for their recommendations on great personal development books and podcasts. Whether you are looking for advice as you lead employees in the post-COVID marketplace or are trying to find more joy in the chaos of COVID, there is something for everyone on this list.
