NOTABLE QUOTES
"Just accept who you are and love who you are." – Limor
"I need to be more intentional about what I want and talking about it, which is very difficult when you're shy and introverted" – Limor
"When that shy and introverted person finally says something… everybody will listen to that person." – Philip
"If I do everything, obviously I'm becoming a single point of failure." – Limor
"It's good when they go and ask questions, rather than just assuming everything and never [asking] anything." – Philip
"This is one of the challenges with engineers: You want to help them grow, but it's hard to let someone grow when you give them all the answers all the time, so they become dependent on you." – Limor
“Try to ask some questions before you… give them some answers." – Limor
"You want still people to feel comfortable reaching out, but by asking those questions and if you do that repeatedly, eventually they will figure out." – Limor
"Don't assume… ask." – Limor
"In my mind…, management should know what I'm doing, but in all reality, they can't know 100% of what I'm doing. So I do have to… sell myself a little bit." – Philip
"Find small steps that will take you there." – Limor
"It was the next level of management that had to know who I was and what I was working on for me to truly get those promotions." – Philip
"When you talk to your manager, leadership, any stakeholders, you need to think about what is important to them." – Limor
"Management should not have that expectation that you're going to know every single detail on stuff" – Philip
