What's the best advice you've ever received?

"I think the best advice I was ever given was to listen way more than I speak. I think with our clients, we really need to be spending more time listening to what it is that they need as opposed to what it is that we can deliver because it really is all about them. And I think the corollary to all of that is to remain humble as well."
