That One Voice - Rochelle Brown & Catherine Page
2026/05/09 | 3 mins.
In talking to people about their careers I have heard time and again how there was one person that was instrumental in someones path, a person who saw something in them that they often didn't see in themselves. Not everyone has a person like this in their past, but for those who do, That One Voice is a chance to give that person the shout out that they deserve.
