QUOTES
“I do hard work. I should be rewarded for it. And sometimes that can really trip us up because to move into a supervisory position or a management position, it's not about doing good work of what you're doing at the individual level. Like it's a whole new role.” – Liz St. Jean
“The foundation piece is like being kind to ourselves, giving ourselves that space and the grace and the compassion to essentially feel the feels.” – Liz St. Jean
“We all love to do it. And one of the challenges with advice is that most of the time we're giving advice from our experience and our lens and our life and our personality and how we would approach things. And that may or may not be helpful for the other person.” – Liz St. Jean
