‘Start by asking yourself what you don’t want and work backward from there.’

‘Learning from experienced professionals shaves years off your learning curves.’

‘Don’t get bogged down in productivity apps, hacks, and tricks.’

‘With the project or type of work you’re working on, what results move the needle.’

‘Focus on creating a strong track record first. All sizzle and no steak is a negative signal.’

‘Your personal brand is a signaling tool. Use it to signal your experience, skills, knowledge, and positive traits to the right people.’

‘Building a world-class network isn’t about shaking hands with the most successful people in the world. It’s not about going to events. It’s not about schmoozing and not about forcing yourself to become an extrovert. It’s about knowing people who know who you need to know.’

‘Build relationships with people who have already built relationships with Very Busy People you want to meet.’

‘Don’t be transactional.’

‘Don’t wait until you need opportunities to pitch yourself to them.’

‘Start small. Be patient. Reflect on how good you feel every time you work on your self. Experience that inner warmth.’

‘A mindset that is comfortable with impermanence enables you to be curious about the answers.’

‘The goal is to love exploring and learning every day. The goal is to not end the day with knowing what you knew yesterday.’

‘Humanizing the Workplace requires people to connect, relate, and engage with each other in ways that enable the uniqueness of each individual to contribute to the common purpose and meaningful mission.’

‘We humans must learn to think differently and that means learning to behave differently.’

‘It is through conversations that we continue to meet our innate needs for social connection and belongings to a group of team.’

‘Bringing your Best Self to work (Inner Peace) and building work relationships based on emotionally positive connections with others and syncing up with others biochemically will be quite a change, but it will be a change for the better – it will humanize the workplace and allow people to become much more than breathing robots.’

Micro-moments of warmth and connection are the building blocks of caring, trusting relationships.’

‘Leadership must become enable-ship.’

‘Joy cannot occur in an environment dominated by compliance and power over others because such an environment leads to fear and submission.’

‘Joy can only happen in an environment that values you as a unique human being and in which you are encouraged to play to your strengths and further develop yourself.’

‘The New Way of Working requires a humanistic, people-centric, human-development-focused leadership model.’
