That’s what high performance is to me, the ability to adapt rapidly so you can achieve your potential. There are five key pillars to creating the conditions for adaptability: sleep, exercise, mental resilience, nutrition, and community/relationships.” - Dr Erik Korem “I maybe have a different concept on leadership. To me, leading is a verb. If you’re leading, you’re a leader. If you’re swimming you’re a swimmer, if you’re driving you’re a driver. If you’re leading you’re by definition a leader. I define leading as being looked to in a particular moment to make a decision or perform an action based on your unique gifts and abilities. So by that definition, everybody is a leader. All rank and role really describe is how many people are hoping you get it right when it’s your turn to wear the weight.” - Clint Bruce

Quotable moments:
"We influence people all the time every day. You walk into a room and you change the tenor of the room." - Dr. Vanessa Bohns
"People are going to listen to me, but it's not going to be immediate. It's not going to always be so obvious." - Dr. Vanessa Bohns
"Assume you're going to get a yes. If you go into the interaction assuming you're going to get a yes, you go into it with that nice tone." - Dr. Vanessa Bohns
"There's all these ways we could talk about to have more influence to get what you want, but there's also the concern about putting pressure, unnecessary pressure on people." - Dr. Vanessa Bohns
"We're looking at how being at that moment of signature, if you really feel like you're truly consenting and know what you're agreeing to and how that affects these downstream outcomes." - Dr. Vanessa Bohns
