Disconnected
As we become more digital and buy into the industrial mindset of organisations, of lifestyle, we become further disconnected from nature.
Trust Point
We need a prompt to tell interesting stories, but the prompts do not matter. They start the stories which enable reaching the trust point.
The Sock Principle of Technology
However sleek, thin, and dressy my socks were, they didn’t last a day when I wore them in my work boots. The same can be said about technology.
