QUOTES
Orrin: "If you're in sales, you are having conversations with prospects to try and move them or help them to see the value that you're trying to provide. And that is an emotional experience. Being able to be aware of, and be clear on how you are feeling and processing in the moment, but also getting some indication about how that other person is doing, that gives you an edge."
Orrin: "I would often say that I don't actually manage that other human being. I don't manage their life, their emotions, I don't manage it. I manage a process that the human being is involved in and I show up human-to-human."
Orrin: "Eventually I want to be obsolete. I want you to be so good that you don't necessarily need me anymore. And the way that I got there was by having this philosophy be shown through action, which is showing up in a peer-to-peer, human-to-way.”
Orrin: While there's a lot of value in what society at large has adopted as success, it may not always align with what you define as success. If there is some incompatibility there or some misalignment, it could actually lead to you having some mental health challenges."
