Tony DUrso - Special Insider Briefs

With a 1000 interview requests a month to get on my show, I started including short interviews on significant topics to help give important messages a chance at communicating to a large audience.

I call these Insider’s Briefs and they’re usually 10-15 minutes long.

  • How to write influential emails and inspire co-workers to take action,
  • How more women are breaking through to the top of the leadership ranks,
  • Improving equitable access to safe drinking water the world over,
  • A new book to help you take command of your inner strength & build enduring relationships,
  • The IBM Skills Build free education program that helps develop new skills and access career opportunities,
  • A lifetime travel experience that’s closer than you think in nova scotia.
