Voices in our heads in partnership with ConnectHOW and QualityMinds
It's about the voices! The quiet ones, the loud ones, the voices between you and me. But above all, it's about the voices in our heads. They follow us in meetings, in the shower and possibly even right now. To make sense of the voices, Vera, Louise, Paul and Markus sit down together for 30 minutes every fortnight to talk about them. Vera and Markus work together in Germany at QualityMinds, Paul and Louise in England at ConnectHOW. Different companies, same old voices. Let's have fun together and stay in touch: [email protected] Voices in our heads in partnership with connectHOW and QualityMinds
