Meet Papiya Banerjee, Co-founder, Unqbe, and a leader with years of experience in culture building, talent management and leadership development; and Mark Pollard, strategy consultant for The Economist, Twitter, Euronews, Facebook, and host of the Sweathead podcast. This is Season 5 of Habits Matter. We’re going behind the scenes of common work problems and asking questions like: how do you present effectively? Get that job? Or decode feedback?
