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!
