QUOTES:
“What matters is — when you get clarity about what you're supposed to do, and when you have that clarity, and you just can't let that go… that what keeps you up all night that ‘this is not right, but I know what is’ — go get that.” — Dr. Ebere Sonoiki
"Nothing about this process is easy, nothing about it is comfortable, but everything about it is worth it." — Dr. Ebere Sonoiki
"I believe in work-life harmony. You hear a lot of people talk about work-life balance, and actually think work-life balance is pretty difficult, almost nearly impossible to achieve. Work-life harmony is about being present; and being present in all the different dynamic areas of your life." — Tareka Wheeler
