Favorite Quotes:

1. “I hadn't yet created the space to really take an intentional look to say what I actually want.” –Molly

2. “It's hard to reach insights on your own, doing the same things, talking to the same people, or going through the same process. And so just to have an opportunity for someone else to come in and create a space and guide and challenge is really enlightening.” -–Molly

3. “Those of us who are servant leaders often put all of our energy externally, not really realizing that the investment in ourselves enables us to create far better outcomes for everyone else and ourselves.” –Blake

4. “A huge part of feeling the stress and anxiety of a job actually isn't the job. It's the amount of pressure and lack of comfort that you feel in admitting the things you don't know or asking for help.” –Blake
