Leadership development in theory, practice, and philosophy

When I started Recreatio, I got advice on how to package my services and what assignments to look for.

Mid-pandemy, I had a small digital after work with Johan Welander, a wise friend of mine. He, just as me, is running his own business, is into public speaking and also a high level HR nerd. He said that three years into being self employed and gigger, he started to have the same questions popping up as after a couple of years at earlier workplaces: Is this really forever?
