Sound Bites:
“If we don’t listen to that inner voice our bodies are going to revolt until we do.” (08:53)
“Reflection is great and it’s so important. I don’t want people to take action for action’s sake like I did when I got my CFA; that wastes a whole lot of time and energy and sets you up for a failure.” (16:28)
“To be in integrity with your work is the most important thing, if I am helping people to build careers they love. For me it’s not just about the job, it’s how that job supports the rest of their life.” (20:51)
“If you have a propensity to be a workaholic or to be addicted to your to-do list then I would argue that quiet time is part of your work.” (29:29)
“When you’re happy at work, you don’t need the shoes, you don’t need to party. But when we’re unhappy, we create this lifestyle to compensate for the job we hate.” (32:57)
“I believe that you can love your job and you can make great money. Money doesn’t equate to happiness.” (34:54)
