Here are some of my favorite quotes from the NAWL Mid-Year Meeting:
“Every time I was called the B word, it is because I was winning!“
“To be an effective leader, you must act like you are the knight who has come to win the castle.”
“Be in it to win it.”
“Effective leaders must learn that authenticity is being true to yourself, finding your courage and tolerating your fears.”
“When it comes to leadership, being respected is so much more important than being liked. Being liked is not a commodity that can be traded. Being respected can be shared;” and
“Lift [those around you] as you lead.”
