A Change in Tone — Please Listen

In this episode of My Crazy Office, Kathi and Katherine want to hear from YOU.

Political events don’t always affect business, but with this new administration, many federal agencies and the companies that deal with them are in flux.

Loss of funding, elimination of jobs, banning of DEI, potential tariffs on imported goods, and plans for mass deportation all combine to create an air of turbulence and uncertainty that affects many of our clients and could impact you.

What does your Crazy Office look like now?
Do you need help handling stress?
Are you in danger of losing your job?
Is the uncertainty of these times making it difficult to plan ahead?
Do you feel frozen professionally?

Please listen to this podcast, and if you have questions for Kathi and Katherine, send them to info@ksquaredenterprises.com
