Replay: LIVE at Sifted Summit with Nikki Wicks (The Body Coach), Emma Steele (Ascension) and Amali De Alwis (ex Subak)

“Everyone needs different things, but if we’re going to spend so much time going to work, at least do something where you feel that you matter and that you make a difference here.”
