    One of the roles she created has been filled by the exceptionally skilled and talented David Watts. David is the master of People and Projects here at the Workshop Whisperer. Here he and Rachel give great insight into recruitment and also working with people effectively, communication, what works and what doesn't and how best to manage things when they don't work out.
