overheard…
“Really be bold. You are the CEO and you have the power. You want
to be heard. – PayPal Coach
Not only are you pushing out a product but you're also building
relationships. – Orange High School Student
When you put your collective minds and hearts together, great
things happen. We saw that here today. – PayPal Coach
When you walk into a group of people, it's important to have a good
attitude and just overall, be a good sport. Be mindful of what your
group members are saying; they may come up with something you
weren't thinking. – Orange High School Student
