On empathic intelligence:
"Empathic intelligence is what we would call a strategic way of living and engaging with diversity and difference in the world. It's not emotional, although emotion does play a role - because it's strategic, it means it can be taught, and it can be learned. All of us have the ability to increase in empathic intelligence..." - Christy Vines
On an empathic leader:
"As a leader, empathic intelligence is how you understand and relate to the people who you serve and who you lead..." - Christy Vines
On obedience and love:
"There's no victory in defensiveness." - Referenced by Abby Worland
