Slow It Down with PJ Harding

A Reminder to Rest

This week on the show I am joined by Jacqui Beaver. Jax's work sits at the intersection of human potential, leadership and creating intentional lives.

She helps people reconnect with who they are, so they can become the fullest expression of who they can be—whether that's navigating life transitions, creating meaningful change, or developing more humanistic leadership within organisations. 

Having worked with New Zealand's leading organisations, and having navigated some significant life changes herself, she brings both real-world leadership experience and a deep understanding of what it means to thrive as humans in a rapidly changing world.

You can learn more about Jacqui, connect with her or explore working with her at www.jacquibeaver.com, or by emailing Jax@jacquibeaver.com or via LinkedIn. Her podcast Unicorns & Hand Grenades can be found wherever you listen to your fave podcasts, and on IG: Unicornsandhandgrenades.life
