    • Tweetable Quotes:

    • “You need to have routine meetings with your team, even if it's just to check in to say hi and see how people are doing. When there's a void of that, it gets really bad. The culture falls apart pretty easily.” - Kelly Donahue-Piro
    • “You need to clarify your perpetuation plan and be fair to the kids and the kids need to respect what you've built. There has to be a plan of how you're going to give up that power.” - Kelly Donahue-Piro
    • “I would encourage every agency to really stop and work hard on saying, what are the gaps in our agency? What experience do we want to get? I think so many people get that tunnel vision, you're in your agency so much. Sometimes you don't see some of the gaps out there.” - Kelly Donahue-Piro
