Today, we discuss:

• Is our "gut feeling" a reliable guide, or is it simply a product of our subconscious biases?


• Can we truly escape the influence of societal judgments, or are we always performing for an audience?


• What are the unique challenges and rewards of leading a significant project straight out of university?


• Can a "family" feeling be authentically created within a professional environment, or is it a mere illusion?


• What are the common pitfalls that can derail even the most talented teams?


• What are the key lessons learned from the "horror stories" of fundraising and team building?


• What are the consequences of living a life that doesn't align with our deepest values and desires?


• How do we understand the difference between concern, influence, and control, and discern when we can apply each?
