Quotes from the Episode

It’s your duty as a human being to work on yourself, so that starts to be reflected on the outside.

Over the years what I’ve discovered is that marketing is like a detective, and marketing starts to show the things that really are not working within your company.

Earth school is hard.

It’s also a call to practice discernment. What really is going to feed me? What really is my passion?

What if you quit labeling things as good or bad? This is an experience I’m going through right now. Instead of labeling it. What am I to learn from this?

You have to be willing to just crack yourself open, which is really hard, and it does take vulnerability.

Life After Your Dream Job – Tracy Collins

“I got to a point in Frank’s office where I realized there was kind of a ceiling. People that I had come in after me, I was training, were now moving up. And my ego got to the best of me. This is the dream job. Like, what happens after Frank Gehry? What could possibly be next after that?”

Lauren Colbert: Helping Smart People Think Together

We’re catalysts for better conversation. And we know at Filament that the teams that we work with are not looking for the right answer, because there’s no such thing as the right answer. There is the next best answer to the questions that we’re asking.

Paya Sample – Leadership is Human Work

“Research actually shows when there’s this lack of trust in a relationship, this lack of connection, the same part of our brain that processes physical pain gets activated when there’s an emotional pain. Right? And so if I’m feeling rejected or I’m feeling like I’m not part of the team or I’m not valued in any way, that part of our brain activates and says, like, pain. And so if you think about it in that way, think about the number of people who are walking around your office every day in pain.”

Stephanie Zettl: Living in the Pretty Light

“Women in their 40s start to disappear from photographs because they think that they’re not young enough, thin enough, pretty enough. But the truth is that when you are in your 40s, you are leading a company, you’ve had children, you have a family, you’re doing things in your community. This is when you should be photographed.”

“You have to be cautious and mindful of the board of directors you invite into your head. And we as women especially listen terribly to that board of directors. And if you have one bad seat on there, one bad teacher, one bad classmate, one whatever from your history that you are listening to, it can really sabotage you.”
