Quotes from the Show

"If you want to see certain leadership qualities or values in others, you have to model them because they're looking up to you and you have to pour into other people."

"Great leaders want to be held accountable. Right? When you want to get better, you hire the life coach, the fitness coach, the business consultant, because you want to be held accountable to a higher potential, and I think you need to instill that in your organization as well."

Quotes from the Show

• "I spend a good amount of time in my current role having one-on-ones with people in other departments...I want to understand when someone new comes into our company, are they having a good experience? Do they feel like they've really connected with people, or do they feel like they've just come into a place where they're just another number and they're given tasks to do, because the staying power is in feeling connected to other people."
• "The thing about tech is it now allows us to connect with so many more people than we would be able to otherwise. Instagram is technology, right? I wouldn't have the job I have now if technology hadn't connected me to a person who was somewhat in my social circle."
