Quotes:

“Nobody is responsible for fulfillment except for you. – While I can’t take responsibility for anybody’s fulfillment, I can be very intentional in creating a culture, environment, and systems that enable somebody to navigate a fulfilling career.” — BJ Kraemer

“There’s no magic wand [for] creating a fulfilling career.” — BJ Kraemer

“Whether [you’re] leading somebody on their career journey or leading yourself on your career journey, fulfillment is not [something] you wake up and all of a sudden have. I think that fulfillment generally comes from working toward something meaningful for yourself.” — BJ Kraemer
