How People Work, Live!
The live show about how to people.
How People Work, Live! — the live show based on How People Work, the workshop that helps teams deliver better, faster.
Join Dan, a very special guest, and any number of interesting people to find out how to get hard results by learning and applying soft skills.
Why? Because success isn’t just about what you do and whether you’re good at it — it’s also about how well you work with others. And like it or not, we all work with other people.
