Quotes:

As business owners, we feel like we have to do certain things because we've been told that that's how you grow or create your business. But when you get clear on your value, how you're providing that value, and what feels good and right to you, there's permission to do the things that feel good and right to you and have an impact. And most times, they have more impact because it is more natural, not forced.

Quotes:

“If you don't learn how to connect to the heart, people are going to have a whole bunch of other tasks on their lists.

“The richest place on Earth is a graveyard. And that's where people's unwritten books, their unsung songs, and their talks are never given on the stage. Many of us go on in life, not honoring ourselves.

“You need to be competent and understand that it is your birthright to share your story. When you connect with the humanity of the audience through speaking effectively, the audience will do the marketing job for you. Event organizers will state your name and rooms that you're not in.”
