QUOTES

Zoe on having a manager that led with curiosity: "Just like, honestly, paying attention. That sounds so basic but there are a lot of managers out there that I know of who never actively coach their reps. They don't listen to calls and then they just show up to one-on-one's and get pissed about numbers."

Spending time talking at a personal level as a leader - Zoe: "That understanding that we are more than just the forty hours we spend at our desk and that people can be more and you can get more out of your employees if you know them on that personal level."

Celebrating as a team instead of individually - Zoe: "Some of it is coaching your best to be team players and to be leaders without the title. I didn't have that skill and awareness but somebody coached that into me and I think it helped my leader then lead the team because there wasn't that delineation and more psychological safety."
