Reflections:
John: When you pay attention to the margins, the marginalized, etc., and optimize for those getting better, you also optimize for the happiness of the rest of the people inside those margins.
Jessica: Letting go of your goal allows emergence of outcomes you didn’t expect.
Rein: Having values that we can use to determine whether we are moving in the direction we want to move in, and to continue to move in the direction that is towards our values.
Chanté: It’s not about quantity, it’s about quality conversation.
