Quotes by Karen & Rachel

“There are ways to build the online connections that are more than just work and these will see us through this time until we see each other in person again.”

“I think the whole social distancing comes with its own risks. As humans, we are social animals who are hardwired for connection with people.”

“Leadership is not just about a title. It’s not about status. It’s about behavior.”\
