For over 10 years now, I’ve been admiring Mary Jane’s pithy advice and marvelling at the way she shares stories of both success and failure with insight and compassion. So, when I realized how busy she has been this week with developing new learning experiences for her clients, I asked if I could take over her blog and share some of my favourite Phone Lady quotes. I hope you’ll find them as inspiring as I have.
