‘In a speak-up culture, people feel it is both safe and worth it to share ideas, concerns, disagreements, and mistakes.’
‘When people feel cared for, they are more likely to extend that care to others.’
‘Vulnerability doesn’t mean sharing everything- that could simply be oversharing. Vulnerability does mean sharing what is relevant, which includes admitting when you don’t yet know an answer or need help.’
‘If we want to cultivate a speak-up culture, we must embody the Platinum Rule: treat people as they wish to be treated.’
‘Any journey worth going on is made better when it’s shared.’-

‘A toxic relationship, with a leader, or with anyone, is one in which the more you invest in that relationship, the worse it seemingly gets.’
‘Leaders go first- they listen first, extend trust first, and courageously venture into the unknown first.’
‘Great leaders are obsessed with building deeper relationships with their own attributes and skills, the people around them, and the world at large.’
‘Leadership is about owning our impact on others, even if that impact was unintended.’
‘No matter how great we are at leading, the time test of our leadership is in our ability to help others become great leaders, who then help others become great leaders.’
‘Our job as a leader is to teach, guide, mentor, coach, and support, not to tell people how we did it and make them do it our way.’
