Quotes
- "I realized in my journey that culture is everything. You know, you can have a product or a service that you feel really great about, but if you don't have a culture where people feel safe, where they feel like they belong, where they feel like they can bring their best self forward, it's going to be really hard to be successful in the long run."
- "We focus on middle management because oftentimes, they get neglected when it comes to development and growth. They're the ones that are responsible for really engaging and helping their teams be successful. And so, we work with organizations to help them understand how to empower their middle managers to really build a strong culture within their own team."
- "We really want to make sure that people are spending a significant amount of time in their strength zone. So, we talk about categorizing work into the grind, the area of greatness, and the genius zone. And the goal is to spend as much time as possible in that genius zone, where you're really leveraging your strengths, and that's where you're going to have the biggest impact."
- “The future of company events is going to be really interesting. We're going to have to get creative and find ways to connect virtually. But there's also going to be a need for that in-person connection. So, it's going to be a combination of both. And it's really going to depend on the dynamics and the needs of different teams within the organization.”
