‘Today, we need to fundamentally change the software of our mental and instinctual programming from one based on threat and survival to one of promise and prosperity.’

‘Our future is not cast in stone. It is a malleable and dynamic fabric of amazing potentialities, possibilities, and probabilities. And every passing moment is an opportunity for our intervention.’

‘Every act is an irrevocable selection and inclusion. In other words, by making the deliberate choice- or allowing others to make the choice for us- we determine the future state!

‘If the world were perfect, it would be. Problems are life’s essential feedstock. Without problems to solve, there is no motivating tension; without tension, there is no progress; without progress, there is only stagnation.’

‘The minute you believe something is impossible, it becomes impossible for you. I believe that there are very few problems that can’t be solved with imagination, innovation, and competent entrepreneurship- provided they don’t break too many laws of physics.’

‘People tend to get caught up in seeing the world only as it is and not imagining what the world could be. If you focus only on what the world is, then you are resigning yourself to a particular destiny.’

‘People often say the sky is the limit. The sky is not the limit. There is no such limit. It is an articficial boundary. Imagination is our only limit.‘

‘All the transformation we need is available on demand as a function of our search. Today that works requires an intermediary- a mobile phone or computer that connects us to information. Tomorrow we may not require the intermediary.’

‘Our curiosity doesn’t die out, it is wiped out. Consequently, as would-be moonshot entrepreneurs, it’s likely that we’ll have a little rehabilitation to do.’

‘Curiosity doesn’t care about comfort. Curiosity has no fear of the unknown. Curiosity is precisely about being drawn to novel things because they are new and strange and unknown.’

‘It’s time for every organization, whatever its size and scope, to profoundly and deeply examine the reason it exists, and to practice, over and over again, telling that story to every stakeholder in its ecosystem.’

‘If machines eliminate jobs, and jobs give our lives meaning, what are we going to do to keep ourselves believing that we matter?’

‘If people can’t work, what happens to our drive for community? Or our eagerness to continue?’

‘We bring our need and our talent for connection with other human beings into every aspect of our lives, including work.’

‘We bring our human need to connect with other people right smack dab into our jobs and our workplaces.’

‘It’s people at work who bring empathy, connection, magic, warmth, understanding, joy, creativity, imagination, beauty, and innovation to organizations as they build things, serve customers, and meet their mission.’

‘Toxic workplaces have myriad consequences- on profit, on the planet, and on people.’

‘It’s time for organizations to get back to basics and remember what the people who work for them need, and what the world needs.’

‘The speed of our connection moves us fleetingly from one thing to another, with very little time to think and add value by learning and growing.’

‘Creating workplaces fit for human life, and paying conscious attention to the soft stuff of people-centered leadership and culture, is not simply about making people happy at work.’

‘To help employees feel alive at work, leaders must look more closely and consider what motivates people, what makes their hearts sing, why they work, and what they dream.’

‘The only thing more expensive than an employee leaving is an employee who is miserable and stays.’
