We're joined by the US Special Correspondent for BBC Studios Katty Kay to discuss power and the joy and fulfillment we can all find when we make an impact.Katty is an award-winning journalist and the co-author of several New York Times bestselling books including The Confidence Code, and most recently, The Power Code.
In today’s episode, you’ll learn:
