<![CDATA[The Head Start]]>The Head Start is a podcast about the skills, lessons and expertise you'll wish you'd had sooner.

Hosted by Syd Cassimaty, each episode explores the conversations that often shape careers, leadership and life, but aren't always available when we need them most.

From storytelling and communication to resilience, influence and decision-making, The Head Start brings practical insights from people who have learned through experience and have something valuable to share.

Because the most valuable expertise is often passed on rather than taught.
