\u201cIt\u2019s not often that you have someone who\u2019s a risk professional in film. But, it really leverages out because it\u2019s all focusing on the same subject \u2014 it\u2019s about managing risk.\u201d \u2014 Dr. Karen Hardy

\u201cThe thing that draws me to ERM in 2022 is the thing that drew me to it years ago. \u2026 And the very thing is that at the core, it \u2026 is about bringing everyone together \u2026 to have \u2026 conversations within an organization. That\u2019s the foundation for \u2026 change.\u201d \u2014 Dr. Karen Hardy

\u201cOne of the things that I realized in the [ERM] profession is that I can\u2019t craft or create a solution if I don\u2019t know what the objections are. And that\u2019s why having conversations is so important. Objections are a gift to any risk profession.\u201d \u2014 Dr. Karen Hardy

\u201cMy whole reputation in government and risk management changed because I was able to put a creative spin on risk management.\u201d \u2014 Dr. Karen Hardy
