Look at different ways, even if they feel really radical at first. Embrace that palpitation that you get when you find yourself in an uncomfortable position." Toby's choice to add to The Change Show Playlist is "Mr. Blue Sky" by The Electric Light Orchestra - the song he plays at the end of every conference worldwide. 🔗 Connect with us: Toby: LinkedIn: Toby Lewis Simon: LinkedIn: Simon Phillips #EventManagement #OrganisationalChange #PersonalisedLearning #TheChangeShow #TobyLewis #Envoku #LiveGroup #Innovation Hosted on Acast.
