  • Knowing what to do

    If you know where you’re going, then it’s intuitive that you’re trying to figure out what to do to get there. And knowing what to do also requires data.

  • Asking (stupid) questions

    Unlike children, we don’t ask questions because we feel stupid asking them. We are afraid that others will see us stupid for asking questions.

  • Ideas and making things happen

    If you’ve participated in meetings where everyone, or at least most of all who participated in the discussion, has a lot of things to say. But what happens most of the time is that only a few are brave enough to speak up and say something. When only a few voices are heard, the concentration… Read more
