So.. What Now?
18 Minute Keynote
There are a lot of shifts happening in the world right now. We have seen everything in this pandemic from political and social movements to technological advancements. We need to continue to push for empathy and self-awareness. As leaders and creators of the next set of products for the world, we need to ask ourselves the ‘why”. Why are we doing this? Why is the valuable? Why will this help the world? Why am I here? This pandemic taught us to remove anything that no longer serves us and to stop creating unvaluable noise. So, it is time to re-evaluate your core values and beliefs and make the change.
