Chelsea has so many compelling and helpful tips and insights. So, it's a good thing that she has just written a book called The Mindful High Performer, and I must say it is a ‘must read'. It is available on Audible and is possibly my favourite self-development book of all time. If you're keen on making the most out of your career and life, then this an episode you don't want to miss. Presenter: Gillian FoxGuest: Chelsea PottengerLooking for more?  Visit...yourbrilliantcareer.com.auFacebookInstagramLinkedInFREE GUIDE: How to make your value visible
