‘All our work happens through people– one relationship and one conversation at a time.’

‘We are not leading if we are not listening, and we are not listening when we are doing anything else.’

‘To listen deeply, we need to emphasize our focus and attitude toward the other person.’

‘We are not leading if we are not listening.’

Roxi Bahar Hewertson

‘Trust is the cornerstone of all relationships, and the level of trust that people have in each other is the most significant measure of those relationships.’

‘Without trust, you cannot succeed as a leader. With it, there are no limits to what’s possible.’

‘It takes time and work to build trust. It takes only a nanosecond to break it. However, the deeper the trust, the more possible it is to rebuild it.’

‘Courage is the quality of the mind or spirit that enables us to face physical or moral difficulty, danger, pain, and other hardships and walk toward and through them anyway.’

‘Learning occurs by moving from not knowing to knowing through awareness, feedback, and then practice and experience.’-

‘Choose a change process, and communicate it to everyone who will be affected, and then pull rather than push change in your organization.’

‘When you engage your people, empower them to have a voice in decisions, and embed the changes in the fabric of your organization, you will have a good shot at ‘buy in,’ and that means that the change is likely to stick.’

‘Learning occurs by moving from not knowing to knowing through awareness, feedback, and then practice and experience.’

‘What in your life can give you feedback about what things light you up?’

John Baird & Edward Sullivan

‘Leading with heart isn’t just about being chummy or making people feel good. It’s about creating an environment of safety and connection versus fear and isolation.’

‘Growth needs are those things that we need to feel like we are living to our full potential- belonging, affirmation, intellectual challenge, access to the outdoors….’

‘If we pay close attention to how we feel in certain environments, around certain people, and when eating or drinking certain things, we can develop a very clear idea of what we actually need to feel resourced and creatively alive.’

‘Underneath all fears are deeper underlying emotions and unmet needs, uncovering these emotions is critical to understanding what is keeping you from becoming the leader you can be.’

‘Not all fear is bad, and finding the right balance of fear on your team can help you maximize your performance and the performance of the organization.’

‘Storytelling is an effective way to normalize fear in an organization. Sharing your story can be a powerful step in embracing your fear and sparking conversations about fear with others.’

‘Blindspots like fantasy, paranoia, and denial keep us from seeing what’s actually going on and can contribute to us getting derailed by our desires.’

‘Healthy competition is a potent driver to keep people united, but it can also create incentives for unethical behavior.’

‘Power and status are as motivating as they are intoxicating. Overreliance on them as motivators can create unhealthy dynamics and abusive behavior.’

‘Everyone has a special gift, but we tend to undervalue our natural talents and strengths because we didn’t have to work for them like all of our learned skills.’
