 “If you lead with your title, you're going to get less results from your team. If you lead from your heart and you're inclusive with each member of the team…you will get more high-powered results.”

– Mike Manazir

“You can create a connection, a human connection, even through only a speaker.”

“If you get to a point where you don't want to disappoint them and they don't want to disappoint you, you can do anything. Anything.”
