Quotes
“It is amazing how small gestures and expressions of interest and intrigue in the lives of the people you work with, can open up relationship avenues. It takes work to put yourself out there.” - Edgar Cabello [20:28]
“This has really made a difference in my home life and my personal life. If I would have found this job at Lippert back when the kids were young, I wouldn’t have been such a mean coach. This teaches you how to coach positively.” - Tom Laymon [41:04]
“I always try to find my team’s “Why”. It is not about “What are you doing right now?” It’s more so, “Hey, how are you doing and what is going on in your life?” - Austin Laymon [20:05]
“We want people to leave Lippert in the right head space and with a positive attitude. We want them to go home to their families the same way they came in.” - Jared Laymon [17:04]
