I predicted my panel would be the best at the Silvers Summit. I was right! Not that the competition wasn’t fierce. There were plenty of great folks talking about great things.

Thumbnail image for Embrace Complexity

People often study a problem hoping to improve the situation by organizing and ‘simplifying’ it.
