" Your strengths, even if perceived as weaknesses, can be your superpower. "

" We could not have this conference without you all — the curation team relies heavily on audience participation. "

" You’re going to get the importance of empathy to the bottom line. "

" When teams are connected to real strategic missions and own their key results, OKRs become positive. "
