Notable Quotes

  • Time, experience, and capacity are certain things that you need within retail.
  • It's not just experience that helps you; it's evaluated experiences.
  • When you are getting promoted, it's not just about you. It's about those other people that you have actually helped.
  • We get so fixated on the day to day that we don't think outside of our box.
  • You won't get promoted if you don't have a better understanding of embracing and dealing with change.
  • When you have a seat at the table, you're feeding yourself. When you don't have a seat at the table, people are feeding.
  • The best leaders I know ask questions that they don't have the answer to, and they ask the questions and hope that you have the answer.
  • The best leaders, the ones who are getting promoted, have a good idea of who they are and where they want to go.
