Bite-sized wisdom can go a long way. This is why I include quotes in our daily emails, on social media, in presentations and, occasionally, in these blogs. They’re simple and short, but always impactful. They often give us encouragement at just the right time, urging us to stay on the right path and continue striving for success.
As some bonus content and a pick-me-up, here are 20 quotes we shared in the recent past.
