Ep 189: The Life Brief with Bonnie Wan

“When you have the clarity of your essence - who you are, what you stand for, what you believe in, and then also your ambition distilled in a way that sticks, in a way that you remember it, you can call it in and call upon it whenever you need” - Bonnie Wan Bonnie Wan is an author and a speaker as well as Partner and Head of Brand Strategy at the world renowned advertising agency, Goodby Silverstein Partners. Alongside her new book, The Life Brief, Bonnie helps people live with greater clarity, creativity, and courage by teaching them how to write “creative briefs” for their lives.
