NOTEWORTHY QUOTES
“Philanthropy for me as the driver, it's the fuel. It's the energy that drives the direction of nonprofits and allows us to serve the communities we're working so hard to serve.”
“A culture of philanthropy to me is when you have an organization that focuses on philanthropy as the lever to drive the social change that you wish to realize as an institution.”
“what's really important for me is to understand my direct reports Are they someone that primarily thinks logically authentically or empathetically, and I try and elevate those pillars in myself based on how I feel I've received their energies.”
“If I have a 30-minute check-in with one of my directors, I really internally commit to spending five or six minutes not talking about work, and it's little questions like, What did you do over the weekend? It allows you to build a stronger relationship.”
