Quotes

“Our work is multidisciplinary.  And to be able to excel, we need different perspectives.  We are deliberate in making sure we not only have a diversity of cultures, but a diversity of thought and experiences.  Then you have to actively ask for different perspectives in your meetings and be okay when people don’t agree with you because it will help you get to a better outcome.”
