Notable Quotes:

9:10 It’s not a raise, it’s a compensation adjustment to reflect your increased value. That phrase matters. Language matters.

12:50 Confidence is the byproduct of action. You’re not going to get more confident by thinking about it 50 more times. You’re going to get more confident by doing something.

20:20 We give the messages we need ourselves.

25:00 There is a difference between being known and being noticed. I’m much more interested in being known by people. It’s nice to be noticed… but if you don’t have a firm and secure foundation of people who really know you, eventually the façade on the surface is going to fall apart.
