“Who wants a job they’re qualified for? There’d be absolutely nothing to learn.” Love this. The perfect counter to feelings of imposter syndrome.

[@naveenkhajanchi9572]

Loved it ! I carried a pack of M&M's in my master's CCC degree at Insead , when I was already 42 yrs + , Unlearn , learnt and Re-learnt a lot. I am still not interested in fully grown up.

[@andrewj497]

The 2nd half of the talk is much better than the first half

[@zawmyintoo.professional]

that was really really good.

[@souhilouallal7355]

very intresting what she said, we need to learn sometimes alone, unfortuunatly in france the leadership don't have this kind of thinking and view of the life!!!

[@jenniferrandive-themaveric4772]

Awesome! that is so true and resonates a Million Percent with me. Been in the corporate world, successful and then chose to step into creating something brand new. Creating a new Maverick approach to different possibilities. Being More and Doing from that space of infinite possibiities

We can learn a lot from looking at life from a child’s point of view. « How much magic do we miss because it’s not on the agenda? » Thé lucky people find this out before it’s too late.

[@grassabrutta]

Sounds like the oracle management job was the one she was actually not suited to do ... forget wanted or was-ready-for

[@rfairbairn]

Very good, but she was a Wise Woman not a Wiseman.

[@FrankKrasicki]

Unlistenable. A Horatio Alger story from Oracle - sentenced to a Hawaiian vacation - she had to slow down! Wow, I needed another box of tissues.
