Connection Academy
Kristin Ransome
Connection Academy podcast hosts conversations discussing what “true success” might look like in a truly connected world. Not only a ‘connected world’ in terms of digital networks, but one where we have a better understanding of ourselves, each other and the endless possibilities of life around us. Topics discussed include mental health, diversity and inclusion, coaching and personal development - topics which detail our shared responsibility towards a more connected future. Conversations are tied together by inspiring personal stories as well as the educational perspectives of professionals working in the field. Only when we come to realise the many possibilities of life beyond our current personal reality can we intentionally build a future which is capable of supporting and amplifying what it means to truly be human. Lean in and join the conversation!
