Standout Quotes:

• “Even though the big space was great…, what's most important for my clients is connecting to each other. At the end of the day…, as long as they can be in the same room, they are good. Why? Because therapists work in isolation.” 
• “One of the things that I wish I had enough courage to do is pre-sale tickets…  and say, ‘Hey, we're going to have an event, it's going to be in March. I don't want to dedicate dates because it's based on venue space.’ That will tell me around and about what kind of venue I should be looking for.”
• “I realized after I sat still, that I really, really need to take the rest of this year to focus on higher quality questions, especially when things go wrong, versus focusing on, ‘Let's just vent about what went wrong.’”
• “What's important to me is paying attention to who is serving us at the venue…. We made sure to turn over all of the catering department people's names and give them a five-star rating… because we wanted to make sure that they were acknowledged because they did their job well.”
