Show Quotes:
"And so I think we kind of shifted from this mentality that like, millennials were really entitled and they didn't wanna work hard. And you know, this kind of belief about that whole generation of people who actually, like any other human beings, very deeply wanna connect to a sense of meaning and purpose at work. So it's not that they don't wanna work hard. They actually want their work to mean something."
"I think that's part of learning and part of Inqli and part of Rain Forest. Is the vulnerability to say I don't have all the answers. In fact, I have a lot of questions and I think the more and more you step into leadership, The more and more uncertainty there is and therefore the more questions you have."
"Ask yourself what questions are you afraid to ask? Because I think that tells us a lot about where we are and what we need. And the follow up to that is where might you ask those questions?"
