Interviewing techniques under COVID-19

In the last of our series of Strategic insight podcasts, Caroline reflects on how we can all impact the world around us. It's up to you how you ‘present’ as a person, how you react to things, and whether you choose to allow difficult situations to affect you. During this series, Caroline has shared a host of tools to help you identify anything that is holding you back from being the person you want to be, and maybe your assessment of the values most important to you has revealed a little bit more about that person. Caroline reminds us that it's all about practice, so practice being a person who makes a positive change in the world, and… you will be one!Caroline Stockmann was Chief Executive of the Association of Corporate Treasurers (ACT) until April 2023.
