• "If you don't have confidence in yourself, look for the confidence others have in you. Take that confidence and use it as energy and strength for yourself."

• "So many of us have things to say, but we keep them bottled up. You never know who you'll affect by sharing your thoughts. What you say can have a significant impact on someone's life."

• “Employees have become smarter with social media. If organizations are not transparent, employees will dig and find the information themselves. The question then becomes: do you, as an organization, want to control the narrative, or do you want the narrative to be controlled for you?”

• “Does your organization treat you and others like people and not just cogs in the wheel?”
