My Original Quote

“We state People over Process, then turn around

and put people in boxes because they have the

wrong letters following their name, or because

they use the word Hybrid.”

Time For Change

1)  Practice “Beginner’s Mind”.

2)  Let go of what does not serve you.

3)  When you catch yourself judging, stop. Learn. Ask

questions.

4)  Be open to Iterative & Incremental change.

5)  Remember where you came from, and what

brought you here.

Thank You!
