Description

The Still Space Podcast is where Executive Coach Mary Lee Gannon and her guests share fun and simple strategies to manage yourself so that you can show up the way you want in work, relationships and life and not default to past behaviors that leave you disappointed. The Still Space is where you learn to take an intentional moment to challenge habitual assumptions that hold you back with enlightened truths that boost your genius. We transform drama, resentment, doubt, unmet expectations, and self-sabotage to executive presence, self-control, deep sleep, healthy choices, and more connection with the people who matter while it still matters. It’s time. I invite you to subscribe to this podcast, and get any of my free publications at Mary Lee's website www.MaryLeeGannon.com where you can also learn more about working with Mary Lee.
