I still remember the chair I was sitting in on July 21, 1969, as I watched astronaut Neil Armstrong’s first steps on the moon. I was thrilled and enthralled. But little did I know how much that moment would change the way we see our lives and our work today.

In the mid-1980s I was fortunate to have met and studied with Angeles Arrien (1940 – 2014), a world-renowned cross-cultural anthropologist who studied indigenous people and their cultures around the globe, and was beloved by thousands.

When I helped to co-found Values Centered Innovation over 10 years ago, we had a mission: to help transform the way the world innovates. 

Preparing for and delivering a Tedx talk is an amazing experience, and I’m thankful that so many people around the world are having a chance to experience that.

2020 was a year that we didn’t see coming. Our vision was blindsided, our foresight clouded

While there are many, many lessons to be learned from this year of 2020, it’s that the days are over for having the world slow down enough to allow a carefully engineered cruise to well-defined outcomes.
