Soundbites
"Mentors have really been what's allowed me to find some success and to make great relationships—I look at that as the cornerstone of my career."
"You can’t do it on your own. The success of a sale is the culmination of the work of your entire organization."
"There’s magic in getting things done through others."
"I don’t have a monopoly on good ideas—and neither do my best team members. That’s why I triangulate the wisdom of others."
"People need free space to learn that’s not directly under the microscope of their manager."
"If you want to scale your impact, it’s not just about your mentoring—it’s about building a tribe of mentors around your team."
"You’ve got to create the case for change, even with your own people—not just customers."
"The more personal you make every coaching point, the more buy-in and change you’ll get."
"I’m still a mentee. I’m learning from my team, from other leaders, from everyone around me."
"Sometimes, simplifying to one thing is what drives the most progress."
