Noteworthy quotes from this episode

“What sustains people in creating real impact, real legacy and doing the work and really playing the long game is the foundational leadership skill set.”

“Often the conversation around money and wealth is solely focused around spending less instead of earning more. And I'm not doing that.”

“We always start with awareness work because clarity equals power. When I have clarity of mind, I'm able to be decisive.”

“Appreciation is honestly the most essential pillar in self leadership and team leadership, and the most commonly overlooked.”

“You are your most valuable asset.”

“Recognition is not the same as appreciation.”

“Accountability is matching your commitment with integrity. And this is what creates impact.”

“I see this happen all the time and it breaks my heart. People waiting to feel motivated or to feel inspired before they're willing to take action and make a difference.”
