“Open, trusting communication at all times and on all issues. We had a continuous dialogue, about every issue under the sun! It included commenting on nuances, pluses, and minuses in each other’s approaches and performances. The trust we built made this possible, without hurting each other’s feelings. It really helped us both in our daily lives, at work and at home.”
Gro Brundtland

Stewart Brand
“Even if you have a foundation of trust and a foundation of respect you can’t take it for granted. You need to make sure that you nurture the partnership; to me the food of partnership is communication. You always have to be open, transparent, and communicate.”
Sangu Delle
“Joy is central and also the only kind of unlimited resource. Which doesn’t mean it’s easy to come by, but I think it is a fuel that is completely renewable.”
Phil Kaye
“One of the things that I think has connected the two of us, but also I would say all of our family members, is the love of community and love of building community. That everyone was always welcome within the doors of my grandmother’s house, my parents’ house, my cousins’ and family’s house.”
Hank Willis Thomas
“And time is really the investment of the journey of friendship and a relationship and being willing to track on to get it done. Take time. Be purposeful.”
Lord Hastings
“Our partnership is fluid. Its not rocky. It’s not difficult. It flows. And sometimes it flows down, but we manage to rise back up.”
