Quotes
“I’ve been lucky enough to follow my own questions…I never had a map of what I wanted my career to look like. I felt like I could follow my interests and I’ve been lucky enough to connect with people I could learn from, grow with, and continue on.”
“(The Immunity to Change Exercise) is a little bit like a Trojan horse…maybe your improvement goal was very focused on one thing, but if you get to something powerful…it does start to impact other areas of your life.”
“Development is one important factor in someone’s effectiveness as a leader.”
