- "Maybe this is something that you revisit every six months to a year to really look at your current size, your composition as an organization, how you've developed your workforce to start evaluating demand for skills based on the direction that the market is taking, and that your competitors are taking, and determining the gaps where there's going to be a need for skills that you don't currently have." - Alexandra Levit [23:33]

- "In your culture, is it OK to tell your boss that you want to move into a completely different function?" - Alexandra Levit [25:22]
