I never would have come up with this content on my own

you are so good at what you do

“You are so good at what you do, Shauna, and this is just been so helpful. Just going through this process... I really didn't know how much I was doing in my roles. But as I go through, I've started to realize that I have accomplished a lot. I had a very pathetic résumé. This is a much better presentation of what I can do. This has been so good. A friend recommended you to me, and I have started to recommend you to friends as well.”

unsolicited opportunities have started to come my way

“Thank you for challenging me Julie, for really forcing me to articulate what I want, and what I do. It's forced me to be more intentional and deliberate about my career. It has sometimes been painful, but also cathartic. And unsolicited opportunities have started to come my way. I've been asked to apply to be my law school's dean, as well as for several board positions. These opportunities have forced me to further think about what I ultimately want.”

it's like therapy in a way...this is fun

“Your questions underscore why I need you, Jared. It's like therapy in a way. You're bringing out things I've forgotten, haven't considered as important, or maybe haven't even wanted to acknowledge. I certainly had no idea how to talk about these things, much less put them on paper as a leadership story. This is fun.”

the work we just did is astounding...we were on fire

“The work we just did is astounding, Jared! We were on fire! I can't tell you how excited I am [to realize that] I've actually done a ton in this most recent role.
