You’re in an echo chamber and probably don’t even realize it. In this #JammingwithJason #podcast episode we look into how your echo chambers are probably holding you back in realizing your potential, and how you can break free.
I’m also sharing some thoughts on the recently released 2021 North American Pulse of #InternalAudit report. Take a listen and then read the report for yourself. Choose what to believe and what not to believe. Most importantly, make your own decisions and stop letting other people tell you what to believe and what to do.
True freedom comes when you free your mind.

You already understand the benefits of having health insurance when those unexpected situations come along, but do you have career insurance??
When that inevitable career “stroke” or “heart attack” comes along you don’t want to be left holding the bag on your career, do you?
In this #jammingwithjason episode I’m sharing what you need to create your own career insurance. You are already managing #risk so why not manage your #careerrisk
For a Chief Audit Executive, belonging to the CAE Forum is one way of adding some career insurance for those tough challenges every CAE eventually experiences, and it’s much more affordable than health insurance.
