“It’s great to provide a space where we can connect and really dive deep into subjects and, you know, sometimes just put on a different lens and approach subjects a different way because I find that we’re so busy that it’s often we don’t allow time because we’ve got so many hats to wear, so many things to do that we don’t have, that we don’t create that space where we can think, where we can reflect, where we can, you know, plan, where we can mentor our team.”<\/p>\n
