QUOTABLES:

"Before you can work on communicating your actual value to a team, you need to recognize and understand what you are bringing to the table." – Kimberly Brown

"Communicating your value is something that is never-ending. It's a continuous process — not that you have to always think that you're up against the clock or that you're always in this competition mode; but, it's understanding how can you continuously show up, communicate your value on a consistent basis, and contribute to the workplace in a meaningful way." – Kimberly Brown
