Whether in our personal lives, our professional practices, or our organizational processes, when we experience confusing and chaotic situations, we tend to fill in the unknown and uncertain future with our worst fears ... and then often make long term plans with that too-limited view in mind.
In this keynote talk, recorded at Agile Prague 2025, Diana shares how to take it slowly, re-framing this scary, confusing time from fearsome and inhibiting to an opportunity to learn, to inquire, to improve conventional wisdom to include new realities. As trusted advisors and leaders, we all must find ways to learn and plan incrementally, considering opportunities and threats, aspirations, and mitigations. Let's stay curious and move through to the path forward, even in turbulent times – through social unrest, wildfires, unsettling weather, corporate change, job insecurities, and more.
