Memorable Quote
*"The key part of this is for us to slow down and to connect deeper, to understand what is important to the people around us and engage in deeper dialogue, so we can see who this person is in front of us. What is important to them? And how can I engage in a dialogue that will help them to share more of who they are so we can create a connection that actually creates something powerful together?”—*Tony Martignetti
