“I think it's that all of the skills that you already have, are marketable, and they're valuable. And a lot of my peers, I think, who graduated in a similar position from a creative industry thought, oh, my goodness, I have a degree in acting, I have no skills whatsoever. But you do.”

[05:12-05:28]

“If you are undergoing change management in an organization, it's about kind of surveying the sentiment across the organization and keeping the things in place of the culture that is natural to the people there and that have already emerged.”

[06:43-06:46]

“Change management starts from way before you announce something's changing, for sure.”

[16:07-16:10]

“Life's too short to show up and do something you don't want to do for nine hours a day.”

[20:30-20:46]

“And if I had to give listeners any advice about if there's someone out there wanting to make a career change, it's all about finding the intersection. It's all about finding the intersection of what you're good at. Like what people ask you for help with, what your strengths are, what you enjoy, and where there's opportunity.”
