QUOTES
"One should always be growing, both as an individual and in the relationships they are in"
"There's a lot that can come out of a moment of, [...]'Oh, I used to think this way, but actually my mind is expanded and now I'm thinking more broadly. I can actually hold more, and not be so siloed in my thinking.' That's a really great aspect of humanity."
"Every cycle, every period, there's a crack of openness that can be driven through."
"If you're trying to change, it has to inherently be more than just you. You have to really inspire people. And that's in some ways the biggest innovation beyond the product you deliver."
"The study of history has been a great teacher to me. [...] I take history with me, as part of how I think and how I approach things."
"There was no longer that question of, 'Can I do this?' It's a matter of, 'How am I going to do this?' And that's a very empowering place to shift to."
"With change can come a rethinking of yourself, an opportunity to get to know yourself better."
"To forge yourself into something new takes a lot of willingness to see that head on. And if you're not willing to, then I think that's just as important to know about yourself as it is to say, 'I am ready to grow.'"
