Key Quotes;

 

The Foundation of Success: "These boring things that you do behind the scenes, they're actually the foundation for the big things that you celebrate later. Going back to that whole planting a tree situation, for example, there's not 400 ways, you sow the seeds, you water it, it grows. Right? If you want 400 trees, you have 400 seeds or more."

Letting Go of Corporate Stress: "I'm just going to let go of the stress and nervousness of this is corporate and just really focus on how can I help this organisation."

Transformative Team Development: "So having a conversation around what they perceive the problems to be and really trying to help them see that a more immersive experience for their team would actually bring bigger transformations than just a training."

The Power of Insider Insights: "The more information you have about the organisation from an insider, the better the experience you can create for your clients."
