How Consciousness In Business Is Shifting
What if consciousness is key in business for long-term success and happiness? I bet you’ve seen this bell curve many times before. Technically, it’s a normal distribution of some arbitrary data and helps us guesstimate probabilities within data for which specific outcomes can’t be known. Today, we will apply this normal distribution curve to a […]
What’s All This Shift?
No Shift! Meet The Shift. Our awareness is in transition. From the Age of Enlightenment through Modernism, things worked pretty well.
