“There is inherent risk in being on the cutting edge of something. There is inherent risk in innovation - it’s just part of it. Let’s embrace it.”
“You get to evolve as your business evolves.”
“If you don’t act in spite of the fear, the fear will get bigger and bigger.”
“Your expertise is broad and applies to many areas beyond the provision of therapy. You can share your expertise with the world in all kinds of ways - speaking, writing, courses, workshops, consulting, or contributing as a subject matter expert.”
