ask dr rebel overview

dr rebel: 2024 ... it's a wrap 💫

this is it – we near the end of 2024 so it’s time for a reflection, an overview, and a gift (or two)!

this was the first year of the ASK DR REBEL newsletter. below you can find the full overview of all 23 questions, categorised into three sections:

  1. questions by managers of rebels: surprising, thought-provoking, and insightful reflections that will help managers to create an environment where rebel talent flourishes
  2. questions by co-workers of rebels: lots of practical tips for co-workers of rebels to collaborate better with a rebel and create magic together
  3. questions by rebels: these provide lots of great hands-on insights for rebels to become more effective and loveable

📚 you can also download all questions as an e-book, and i have also put together an e-book with all the rebel tools. you can both download them here for free (i am not asking for any personal data)
