@AdamMGrant Not sure I agree. I still believe that speaking > writing.

Yes, good writing is often undervalued by the writer, but seldom unappreciated by the reader.

[Digital Economist @DigEcoist]

@AdamMGrant But also not an excuse. There's very little we're an expert on in the early days in a start-up; but we're figuring it out in spite of, not because of...

[Digital Economist @DigEcoist]

Choose to focus on the open doors.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

It's depressing to ruminate about the doors that closed yesterday. It's liberating to look for the doors that are open today.

You can't change who you've been. It's never too late to choose who you want to become.

Identity is a decision, not a destiny.

If only @FlySafair had some way to know how many paying customers were going to show up on a given day 🤔 Then they could properly staff the check-in counters.

Nah, let's just have one counter and let passengers queue for 90 mins

How a talented young man found their calling and went from "science for curiosity" to #data4good . Really enjoyed having #datascientists and visualization wizard Amir Emami as @PalindromeData's first intern!

[Palindrome Data @PalindromeData]

It was a real privilege having such a brilliant, energetic mind as our first "summer" intern at Palindrome Data! We're looking forward to following all the amazing things Amir Emami will undoubtedly achieve in the just the next few years #AmplifyingImpact

Great session on ML in #globalhealth at #GDHF2019. Clear opportunity for impact, but need more collaboration across #AI and #publichealth communities of practice to identify appropriate use cases
