Sullivan:Being 4 feet tall, I literally look up to everyone through the day. But it’s much more than that. It actually taught me to figuratively look up to everyone because we all have value. When you let go of preconceived notions, it just opens up your world so much more. With all that’s happening in the world, especially in the last few weeks, t...
Sullivan:People can be uncomfortable around me because of my size so I learned very young that I had to talk first or people wouldn’t talk to me. I learned that if I walked up and started talking, they had to talk back and then they forgot about my size. My gift of gab definitely comes in handy. I know some people are more shy, but remember, you do...
Sullivan:It takes courage. That’s tough sometimes, even for me today: Do I want to walk up and start talking?

What I found was intimacy works much better than the influence of your position. When I really got to know the folks around me and found out what makes them tick, they really thrived.
Sullivan:When you walk in a room and you scan it for who you’re going to talk to, you generally go to the people who look like you or you might be safe with. I tend to talk to people who aren’t like me. It doesn’t always work. They may not be interested in talking with me. That’s a sacrifice that you have to make, but most of the time, it works and...
Sullivan:People overlook or underestimate me quite often. Do I let it stop me? No. I just continue to work. Just keep doing your work and it will get noticed. At the end of the day, we all want to just make an impact. This interview was edited and condensed for clarity.
