Nuggets of Wisdom from Laila
- "A lot of times we think, "Well, if I only work hard, someone will notice. And I'll get that promotion, or I'll get that award, or I'll get that recognition, or I'll get that gratitude or appreciation." And I realized actually, at least, where I was that's not the way it works."
- "Just having that realization that things don't necessarily come easily or automatically and that sometimes we have to think like a man... be your own best advocate and ask for more, especially if you deserve it."
- "Sometimes it is about taking risks and putting it out there. And if it doesn't work out, what did you lose? The potential for reward is a lot bigger than the potential for risks because if it doesn't work out, then it is status quo. But if it works out, the reward can be really big."
