“Once they found out what the role truly was, they dropped out because they knew that's what I do.”

“When you're a W-2 employee and you have leaders who report to you, your job is to make them look good.”

“It's important to connect with those people.”

“I decided to dive deep into networking and make that work to my advantage, while also building a circle of people I can help out.”

“You start by asking good questions.”

“One thing that's really important is core values and making sure we align.”

“It is hard to bring consultants or fractional people in, especially several at one time.”

“It's often a practice to hire people from within, which isn't bad -- you want to grow talent from within.”

“Your community will support you if, over time, you develop trust and you're present.”

“I think that's what makes the Cincinnati market specifically — and the fractional community within it — unique and different.”

“I need to know that Tim's not going to come in and try to be the smartest person in the room, or make it all about dollars when it's really much broader than that.”

“It's about understanding that there's a lot of great talent in this city and plenty of opportunities.”
