“But we just don’t have the time if we're on the gerbil wheel of doing the same thing over and over again every month is just a new month. Where do I find time to ask three or even one new question when I'm busy doing the stuff that I have to do, and we've got to focus our attention on fewer clients, but deeper work for those clients. And that's when we create the capacity to do the kind of work that matters to those clients.” -Geni Whitehouse
