Tweetables: Quotable Moments

“What makes me most alive is seeing people recognize new ideas - seeing people come to life after recognizing new ideas - and seeing them just bloom and understand that they can do things differently in their life to make their lives more enjoyable for themselves and for others."

“One of the things that I encourage my Executive Coaching clients to do is to seek to understand that the newer generations aren’t going away - we are. The newer generations are the future of business. And if we want to leave a mark, we have to understand their values and help them understand that we have experience that can help them not make some of the same mistakes that we’ve lived through in the past.”

“If you are someone who enjoys your work and you want to put in eighty hours a week because it just fills you up with joy and it feeds your soul, go for it. But it doesn’t mean that everyone else has to do that as well. And that’s the difference, I think, in letting go of the judgment that there is a right and wrong way of working these days.”

“In my mind, there’s nothing more powerful than a leader who truly believes in their team and in their ability to do something amazing - even beyond what they’re there to do on paper.”

“What people are coming into the workforce knowing right now is a heck of a lot more about technology than anything else, frankly.”

“What I think the key is to make sure that all of the generations in the workforce are contributing is for all of us to stop judging. We all have experiences. We all have things that we know, things that we don’t, things that we’re interested in, things that we’re not, things that are necessary to do the work that we need to do, things that aren’t necessary. Where we get balled up, I think, and where we make the biggest mistakes in dealing with each other as people is when we judge and when we think that our way is the only way.”

“Trust yourself. Be kind to yourself and others.”
