Let’s Begin…
In art school, Phil Hansen developed an unruly tremor in his hand that kept him from creating the pointillist drawings he loved. Hansen was devastated until a neurologist made a simple suggestion: embrace this limitation... and transcend it. How can limitations inspire creativity and drive innovation?
Hansen’s life was transformed by his doctor advising him to “embrace the shake.” Do you have a “shake” in your life that is waiting to be embraced? What could it look like if you lean in and work with your shake, instead of against it?
