Powerful Quotes by Shane

\\n
    \\n
  • My employees and I are one big family. They have that sense of ownership and, with that, they treat this like their own business. I always ask them, \\u201cHow would you handle this? What would you do? This is your business.\\u201d
  • \\n
  • When running for council, you\\u2019re always going to have family support; but you need someone outside your family circle to lean on and get the honest feedback that you need.
  • \\n
  • We all just want the same outcome. We want a council that is genuinely passionate and invested in our community, sitting around a table making decisions for our future. It\\u2019s not that complicated.
  • \\n
  • If you put your hand up to serve your community, you\\u2019ve got to give it 100%.
