Who’s your ‘Goose’?

Who’s the Goose to your Maverick? The person who’ll be there no matter how close you fly the plane to the control tower? A Goose is someone with whom you have mutual trust, someone who won’t try to fix the situation but just hear you out. Leanne Faulkner is a small business mental health advocate and the Founder of Fortitude at Work. She says that having someone listen without judgment is a fantastic way to care for our mental health as small business owners. She explains how a Goose differs from a business partner or mentor and where to find one.
