What does storytelling have to do with the human brain?
I recently interviewed Jill Hewlett of Jill Hewlett Inc. for Episode #13 of the the Power Your Platform Podcast.
Jill is a nationally recognized speaker, author, Brain Fitness Expert and Wellness Authority.
She combines user-friendly neuroscience and inspired common sense strategies to draw out the resources and resilience in individuals and organizations across North America. Her work supports her clients in achieving greater levels of productivity, wellness and success.
