She is leading her own CX consultancy, There Is No Spoon, and co-founded Women in CX. In this episode, Lara discusses with Erik her top 6 tips and tricks for a more positive mindset at work (and in life), but also goes through which things to avoid at any cost because they do not serve you even if you think they do.
