Episode Quotes
On Social Impact:
"Social impact is not an industry. it's actually a lens and that lens can be applied to many different industries in any different way."
"I think that's another kind of misconception of what social impact is - a lot of people think that it automatically means nonprofit."
On Shift from Consultant to Program Manager:
"Program manager means different things at different companies. The way that I saw it, there were a lot of similarities between the skill sets that I had as a consultant [and the skill sets of a Program Manager]. "
On Giving good feedback:
"Feedback style and how to adapt your management technique to give meaningful feedback in a way that's going to actually inspire people to act on that feedback versus telling them what to do, which is less effective."
