Quotes:

"Dare to leap describes perfectly my career journey. I've taken some really big leaps and I'm going to be the first person to tell you that it's not always easy. It's rough, it's bumpy, but it's very, very rewarding."

"It takes a lot of courage to make these shifts and sometimes they're not huge leaps. Sometimes it's a matter of making one decision and the next decision, then the next decision."

"You would not show up and tell your very, very best friend how crappy she looks or that she's too old. You would not do that to her, so why are you doing it to yourself?"
