"The most enduring legacy of our lives is the memories we leave in others — and those they leave in us." Reflected on this walking London’s Millennium Bridge. Stability, instability — like memories: permanent, impermanent. Grateful for the people who shape us. #Legacy #Gratitude #2025

Exciting News! Next month I’m honored to be be teaching alongside Professor @HalGregersen and Marsha Dunn in MIT’s Executive Education course, “Questions Are The Answer.” Hope to see you there! hashtag#MIT hashtag#Innovation hashtag#CreativeProblemSolving

I, a universe of atoms, an atom in the universe. — Richard Feynman

According to many experts, generative AI’s impact on economic growth and societal transformation will be on the same level as the steam engine, electrification, and computers. mitsloan.co/3yxfGFh

“The question you should be asking isn’t, ‘What do I want?’ but ‘What would excite me?’” ~ Tim Ferriss Spotted a cabbie deep in thought recently & wondered: What if we all asked ourselves this one powerful question? Change your question, change your direction. @tferriss

"No sun outlasts its sunset but will rise again and bring the dawn." Maya Angelou ~ Transitions between light and dark are always mesmerizing. Grateful for the gift of sleep and the miracle charge it provides to start the next day with more little more light. #Gratitude

@work_matters I loved and love this book!

Of my 8 books,"Weird Ideas that Work" is my favorite And worst-selling (Launched just after 9/11/2001; people were worried about more pressing matters) After this election, I doubt anyone, including me, will ever construe "weird" in quite the same way! amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS…

We’re all gazing into the vast unknown. The future is uncertain, and the stakes are high. This morning, Nahant’s wild beauty mirrored our turbulent times. Amid the shifting scene, I found hope. “Light tomorrow with today” – Elizabeth Barrett Browning. #Hope #FutureFocus

Recently visited Ed Catmull in the Bay Area for a research project on exponential change. Afterward, I saw Sausalito’s houseboats. Two stood out: “The Question ?” and “The Answer.” It reminded me: “Questions are the answer.” Embrace this mindset daily. #ExponentialChange

If only we could make the invisible more visible in life. That’s the quest.

Seeing beneath the surface is key to navigating complexity. Pausing to ground ourselves helps uncover hidden forces that impact progress. As Clayton Christensen said, “actively seek passive data.” Uncovering unknowns early yields positive outcomes. #ExponentialChange

In a new book, automation expert Matt Beane looks at how robots and AI can interfere with old ways of learning and how people can build skills today, including making intelligent technologies part of the solution. mitsloan.co/4cA016x

In a complex world, good judgment isn't about trusting your gut. It's about testing your gut. 59 studies, 72k ppl: when basic math refutes their intuition, many cling to intuition and ignore the facts. A mark of wisdom is being as quick to question old ideas as new information.

@edbatista Tragically, it was way less than 60 seconds. 😉

@HalGregersen Taking one for the team to get the shot! I love it, Hal :-)

When facing uncertainty, shifting the angle of inquiry can lead to powerful insight. I filmed the sunrise standing tall, then laid flat on the beach for a pebble’s eye view. Spoiler: I got soaked! 🌊💦 Changing our questions can transform our work, life, and photos. #LifeLessons

This week, a serene sunset drew me into the essence of empathy. Here’s a glimpse from the ocean’s edge with birds singing goodnight. Hope it brings you peace and reminds you of our profound connections.

In a world that’s increasingly automated, the power of empathy is crucial. Dan Pink said it best: “Empathy is about standing in someone else’s shoes, feeling with their heart, seeing with their eyes.” #Empathy #Mindfulness #Nature #Connection #EmotionalIntelligence
