In this interview on the Global TV Talk Show with Edwin Cohen, Angie Weinberger, Founder and Managing Director of Global People Transitions, discussed the core themes of her book, The Global Rockstar Album: 21 Verses to Find Your Tact as an Inclusive Leader.

Globalization and the pandemic have accelerated this trend, a common phenomenon in large organizations and small businesses. Most workers temporarily work from home at least one day per week, and this trend is not about to fade. Some companies even allow you to work from anywhere up to 60 days per calendar year.
