BEST MOMENTS

"I want people to lead with heart, but I can't possibly say that out loud in the workplace. And he said, why not?"

"If you're using fear to push people harder, there's only so far you can go with that before people will completely disengage."

"The strength lies in the “and”. It's about being empathetic first and holding you accountable."

"It's not something extra, it's not something that costs money, but it's how can people really just consider it."
