QUOTES


Hollie: "What we're learning is people want the
flexibility but they also like to come back together from time to
time to connect and be social. It's a very social culture."


Hollie: "How you leave is more important than
actually everything you did. Because  it's the only thing
people will remember about you. So are you honest and
transparent? Are you having authentic conversations, are you
putting a good plan in place that leaves your team and the
organization in the best possible state?" 


Hollie: "The more clear you are about the thing
you're going toward, the better probability you'll have of
landing that. In my experience, careers aren't linear. Sometimes
things show up and you're like, oh I don't know, this is kinda
risky. Do the assessment of your calculated risk but sometimes
the most unorthodox thing that shows up will be the thing that is
the best growth for you."


Hollie: "What happens with people that are
really good is an organization will tend to want to give them
more, whether it's in their job description or not. If that's not
happening for you and you want that, make it known. I always say,
nobody cares about your career as much as you do."
