“It’s not really always about the job skills, it’s really learning to focus on those people skills. No matter where you’re in, we’re involved in sales. And people don’t buy things, people buy people.”
“The one thing about the beauty business, I feel, like we’ve always been one of the more accepting industries all the way around. But I don’t think we’ve moved quick enough.”
“We just have to step outside our comfort zone sometimes. We have to be willing to be schooled. I feel like everytime I’m in a campus, I can be taught anything by any of the students and I love that.”
