Show Highlights:







In business and in life, we must have balance. -Megan MurphyAnonymity in kindness is really important. It's doing something without expecting anything in return. -Megan MurphyDo kindness with intention, not for attention. -Megan MurphyHumility is not thinking less of yourself; it's thinking of yourself less. -John WoodenIt's not about owning a concept; it's about getting everyone to share the concept. -Dan MooreWhenever I'm presented with a challenge, I see it as a growth moment. -Megan MurphyI begin to look for soul-lutions. I call them that because I get really quiet and introspective. -Megan MurphyToo many of us react, and unfortunately, reactions can just cause more problems. -Megan MurphyWe're human beings, not human doings. -The Dalai LamaBe authentic, make social and emotional connections in the morning, and lead by example. -Megan MurphyInvolving others is not a sign of weakness, but it's the ultimate sign of strength. -Dan MooreNone of us is as smart as all of us. -Ken BlanchardBefore my feet hit the floor, I give thanks for a new day. -Megan Murphy







Megan's closing thoughts: Trust yourself. You're your own advocate and you need to take responsibility. Don't let the opinions of others sway you. Don't let them tell you how you should or should not feel because you feel the way you feel for a reason. Although people may mean well, be careful of the advice they give you versus the advice you give yourself.
