Quotes

“The future has always been unknown. We know that, but I think the challenge is that we’ve already experienced a shift in our very way of being, whether that’s as companies or as leaders. Our way of being is different. For a while, we were people who work in offices who were temporarily working remotely. We’re not anymore. Now, we are people who work.”

“You just have to keep showing up every day and eventually they have to give it to you. Don’t let anything stop you from showing up every day. Don’t stop. Don’t quit. Don’t get discouraged. Keep showing up every day. Eventually, they have to give it to you.”
