What is it about us humans and directions? For so many, in the old days without GPS, we’d drive around trying to find a place. It was almost an act of God to pull over and ask someone how to get to wherever we were going. Same thing when we buy something new. We take… Continue reading Following Directions

The conference will last all week with several thousand attendees. Today was a pre conference day with policy makers, the… Continue reading Conference Rejuvenation
