On this episode of the Inside Learning podcast, we welcome the author of Flex: Reinventing Work for a Smarter, Happier Life, Annie Auerbach. Flex is a manifesto for living and working on your terms. It means looking at the established, rigid ways of doing things and asking: ‘Is this really working for me?’ If the answer to that question is ‘No’ then this episode is for you.
