As the first episode this year, I’m sharing a new perspective I would love to hear more often – whimsy. In this episode, I speak with psychologist and speaker Nabil El-Ghoroury on his whimsical approach to life and work. The conversation also reflects on the power of courage and a robust support network. Beyond personal narratives, Nabil shares valuable insights on the positive effects of being whimsical in a professional workspace.
