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.

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?
