“As leaders, we must seek out and support those who might have never considered that they have leadership potential, especially underrepresented groups. One of my mantras is ‘As you rise, lift.’ Meaning, as we succeed, we need to put systems in place that empower those coming behind us.”
Quote I draw inspiration from: “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” – Maya Angelou. Whether it’s in conversations with my team at work, my friends and family or strangers, I want the person I’m sitting across from to walk away feeling understood.
