If you’ve followed me online, you may have picked up that I love interviews and enjoy learning from others through asking questions. It’s been a theme of life as long as I can remember.
And so I’ve been grateful that I’ve been able to merge this interest into my role Content, Editorial and Public Relations Manager at Compassion Canada.
Over the past few months, I’ve had some really cool opportunities to connect with some incredible individuals, pick their brains, and learn.
Here are a few highlights:
1. A helpful road map for the restless heart
