Why Processing Emotions Together Matters in Business

Guest post by Patti Sanchez (@PattiSan), co-author of the new book “Illuminate: Change Through Speeches, Stories, Ceremonies, and Symbols” (with Nancy Duarte @NancyDuarte) In business, as in life, the one thing thatā€™s constant is change. In our personal lives, babies lose their teeth and grow adult ones. We have our first day of school then eventually graduate. We meet someone whom we someday marry and have children with. In our professional lives, we work toward big goals that result in…

We all talk of innovation, but few us start with innovation in our own work

We all talk of innovation, but few us start with innovation in our own work

Photo Credit:Ā Brian Fanzo I don’t normally share things like this, but…I’ve had a heck of a week.

While I was in Geneva for theĀ Lift Conference, I spent quite a bit of time withĀ Manuel Diaz,Ā Arnaud Grobet,Ā Karim ChouikriĀ and Brice Le BlĆ©vennec ofĀ Emakina.

In X, I introduceĀ framework for experience architecture and how one can become an xperience architect. We talk about what that…
