“In a state of heightened intensity, our strongest abilities act out first.” – Kevin Buffini
“Self-awareness helps with great self-management.” – Kevin Buffini
“Your most intense abilities will always be the things that drive your actions. So, if you're just relying on muscle memory, stop and ask yourself: am I helping or hurting right now?” – Kevin Buffini
“You want to be intentional with the strengths that you have. We want you to use the abilities that you have. So, start trying to figure out who can you help with your abilities, and where can you help with your abilities.” – Kevin Buffini
“If we can think before we act, then we just updated our self-ware.” – Kevin Buffini
“People are being forced to reflect and work on their life, not just in their life. And I think there's a moment and there's an opportunity for us here if we will just act on it.”– Kevin Buffini
