Lessons with The Practical Prof®
We are excited to announce that our podcast is getting a make-over. You have been so supportive of our original podcast since 2019. We want to keep you engaged as we grow our audience with this new podcast called “Lessons with The Practical Prof®”.
Marabella's work as The Practical Prof® has been built on his life as a teacher who chose to focus on business, the people side of business; often, the more controversial or less-discussed challenges. That will continue but we’re expanding beyond the workplace to include home and community. Because now more than ever, we need to be our best selves – full of integrity, empathy, kindness – for ourselves and for each other!
"Lessons" is a forum for becoming our best selves at home, work and in the community featuring your stories, experiences and interviews.
Join us - there's always a lesson to learn and a lesson to share!
