What is a Tap on the Shoulder

Being Seen

Full of personal anecdotes and reflections, this episode sees Trevor talk about why it is so important that our talents and values are seen by others.

Trailer

Here's a little snippet of what to expect from the forthcoming "Tap on the Shoulder" podcast with Trevor Waldock, in conversation with Dave Courteen. Maybe you are thinking that the world has become full of programmes, podcasts, articles, books on leadership, and Executive Education Programmes, yet we have become more lost than ever. The world and most of us in it, aren’t any clearer why we are here and what is our unique contribution in life, through our families, our work and our communities. In this podcast Trevor is inviting you to see what life is calling you to within and beyond your current life story. When we look at today’s challenges and ask in desperation, “Where are the elders?” …the answer is in the mirror, if we just start to uncover it.
