Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Donna  Karlin
 

"True leaders are those who lead by example rather than by intimidation. The whole point of leadership is having power WITH people --- not lording it over them"

"I will not give my personal power away to someone I least respect at that moment in time."

 

"What's this about 'finding time'?  Did you lose it?"

 

"My clients get to live their life twice.  The only difference the second time around is they choose how it'll unfold"
