Quotes:
“The deal isn’t to say yes to everything, it’s a yes, I heard you. Yes, I see you’re trying to come up with an idea or trying to be heard. That’s the yes part, it’s affirmation and acceptance. Then the and part is adding something to it.” - Katie Goodman, (6:50) 
 
“...if I can’t support you in taking five minutes to deal with something, that’s on me. I think it’s a messed up culture if we’re not able to treat each other as humans and we’re this word professional with a capital P and it’s become gross. Why do we care so much?” - Katie Goodman, (15:32)
“I think that for me, as wanting to have influence on the conversations in the culture, we’re always thinking about what are we saying? How are we saying it a little bit differently or maybe a little bit more edgy?” - Katie Goodman, (19:22)
