It wasn't just a bunch of us together who looked different but do the same things." 19:25 "What you can control, what you have the most control over, is your performance. So prioritize that over everything." 25:09 "Do a thing that helps me feel successful. Do a thing that gives me a sense of accomplishment, and that is where the motivation comes from." 42:16 "Make sure that your onboarding process emphasizes culture and inclusion the same way it emphasizes proficiency with this tool or that, the same way that it emphasizes how well they learn the product." 47:59 "That's the number one thing, I would say, is that capacity to be vulnerable in a way that invites people to be their full selves around you.
