It's hard to facilitate when hierarchy actively suffocates collaboration. Evelyn van Kelle shares a powerful story where a CTO's 'slow clap' revealed deep-seated issues. She learned that physical reactions are data & working too hard signals structural blocks. Understanding these dynamics helps you act effectively.

Greetings, traveler! Large language models have already caused a fundamental shift across multiple domains. Artificial intelligence has changed how we search for information and how we process it. We are still at a very early stage, and many of the current limitations are easy to observe. A lot of behaviors feel unfamiliar, and many people
