Podcast: The Wayfinder
February 6, 2025
What does it mean to be your best adult self at work? Abril connects with Jennifer Abrams, a communications consultant who supports educators, health care personnel, and others on new employee support, being generationally savvy, effective collaboration skills, having hard conversations, and creating identity-safe workplaces. Their conversation centers the concept of lifelong growth and how this is used as a guiding principle in developmentally-minded organizations like NESA. In practical terms, what does prioritizing adult development look like? How important is it for us to look deeply at ourselves? Join Abril and Jennifer as they explore what it means to curl up to our learning edges in the workplace – and beyond.

Praise for Jennifer
“I hope you are well. I approached you right after your morning session on hard conversations to thank you for the amazing workshop. I shared that I am tough to impress. Equally, important, I never smile. Nonetheless, your approach elicited a genuine excitement and passion for the work.”
