The power of networking & changing lives through careers - James Mitra in conversation with Alembic Strategy

“Make networking a daily occurrence. It’s everyday interactions. It’s making a good impression early doors and really taking the time to build meaningful relationships and connections.”

In today’s episode, we’ve put our host, James Mitra, into the interviewee seat.

James was recently invited on Alembic Strategy’s Strategy Café, hosted by Founder and MD, Nick Mayhew.
