And that was a tough pill to swallow, but once I swallowed it that\u2019s when all the good stuff in my life started happening.\u201d (07:05)\r\n\n\n\u201cOnce I had been at Berkley for a few years, I realized that my real power is in helping people. And that by being that person who facilitates another person to succeed, that is actually one of the most powerful positions you could be in.\u201d (14:08)\r\n\n\n\u201cI think that creating culture is a really important thing, in a classroom and a workplace, because you want to facilitate people to be their best selves.\u201d (18:03)\r\n\n\n\u201cFor me, success means that when I hear about somebody else winning, especially if I identify as somebody similar to them, that the only emotion I feel is pride and being happy for another individual. Shedding that sense of competition that the music industry embedded in me, that\u2019s success.\u201d (35:58)\r\n\n\n\u201cIt\u2019s important to create a culture in your workplace where people feel safe. And that just helps you because then they\u2019ll feel safe to tell you when something\u2019s wrong.\u201d (43:48)\n\r\n\n\n \r\n\n\nLinks Mentioned:\r\n\n\nDino\u2019s Email\r\n\n\nDino\u2019s Instagram\r\n\n\nDino\u2019s Twitter\r\n\n\nAuthentic Leadership for Everyday People Website\r\n\n\nAuthentic Leadership for Everyday People Facebook\r\n\n\nErin\u2019s LinkedIn \r\n\n\nErin\u2019s Website\r\n\n\nBeats by Girlz Website","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/24a2276e-9782-403c-ad80-28352febb01d/BYnnCUj9mWP0nE85tNFMUweu.jpg"}
