2. My Qualifications?
• Founded two collaboration
consultancies: Blue Oxen
Associates and Groupaya
• More horror stories than you can
count, including failing at failing
• Experimenting with ways to scale
collaborative literacy. Most
haven’t worked.
• Lots of lessons learned at
fasterthan20.com
• Good at asking why
3. What are your
qualifications?
Think of a story where you were
successful at overcoming adversity.
Now think of a story where you
failed magnificently.
19. “Fall down.
Make a mess.
Break something occasionally.
Know that your mistakes are your own
unique way of getting to where you need
to be.
And remember that the story is never
over.”
—Conan O’Brien,
2000 Harvard Commencement Speech
