Trina Golden joins me to explore the essential areas aspiring and new leaders need to know about and where to find them. Trina reminds us that you won't know everything at the start so let us ease your mind and help you take the first bite of the elephant that is the world of circulars! Trina brings her insights from primary and mine from secondary. We had a few unavoidable gremlins on the line during recording and it might appear I talked over Trina but this was an unforeseen issue and not intentional.
