About the show

How People Work, Live! -- the live show about how to people, based on the How People Work workshop that helps teams deliver better, faster. Join Dan, a very special guest, and any number of interesting people for a free, candid, ad-hoc series of gatherings on Zoom where we find out how to get hard results by learning and applying soft skills. You know, the ones that help you with relationships, influence, communicating with people, and strategy. Easy stuff. Why? Because success isn't just about what you do and whether you're good at it. It's also about how well you work with others. And like it or not, we all work with other people.
