"So I said, I'm going to try something different, and see if I can be one of those humans, who is challenging the ways that we think about creating workplaces. That's what I get to do now. My hope is that I am making a difference for certainly at least one person, but hopefully lots of people, and how they lead, how they manage and how workplaces are embracing and creating spaces where everyone can thrive. Particularly, those who have been historically most marginalized and underrepresented in the workplace." - Brian McComak
