 Quotes, that can change your perspective:

"The corporate job is a game. And you don't get to choose whether you play it or not. Like if you're in it, you're in it. But you do get to choose whether you play it on easy mode or on hard mode." - Sally Ivester

 

"Self-awareness begins with, I'm not going to be the smartest. I'm not like, there's always going to be things that happen."  - Sally Ivester



"The way that I think about work loudly is your work does not speak for itself. You need to tell people what is the value that you're providing." - Sally Ivester



"I'm a mom, so think of all the things that other moms do. You might be doing the laundry. You might be thinking about all the things that kids should be eating and like putting together the grocery list in the background. No one's asking you to do it, right? But you're doing it because you want to make sure these kids are fed and the family's fed and everything else." - Sally Ivester



"The goal is be more present, even though you're not physically present." - Sally Ivester
