NAVIGATING

UNCERTAINTY

There is no magic antidote or cure for uncertainty. In many ways, like the game of golf, we never get to master uncertainty but we can embrace it and even enjoy it. Read 30+ perspectives on how we can alchemize uncertainty into opportunity.

SOLUTIONS

The literary temptation is to keep swimming and ranting about unfortunate tidal waves of uncertainty. That might make us feel good for an hour, a day or a week. Instead, we have asked each of our authors to come up with solutions and frameworks to confront uncertainty & make us better at our professions.
