• We create, synthesize, and drive
change.
• Better to anticipate than to avoid it,
even if we have to disrupt ourselves.
• Not everything we do, you do will be
successful. Sometimes we fail. It sucks,
but that’s okay!
• We’re here to learn and to be better,
embrace that results will sometimes be
poor!

• Run experiments, test key
assumptions. If we “fail,” ask why.
• Growth mindset: valuable lessons &
low cost.
• No such thing as a perfect answer.

• The best way to grow is to ask for
feedback.
• Ask of yourself, of your team, of the
project you just completed:

• What could be improved?
• Be truly open to feedback.

improve upon, instead of asking - be

room to grow and explore.
