The worst that could happen is that you fail, but that you learn and you grow from that.”📢 Memorable Quotes“Instead of being afraid of ambiguity, I think that we should embrace that and we should design for that. Because underneath the ambiguity, there lies hidden opportunity and hidden growth.” – Joyce Shin“Once machines go from being able to do 25% of someone's job to 50% to 99% of someone's job, ultimately we're going to have to fundamentally rethink what roles are the fundamentals of work and how teams and organizations are built.” – Joyce Shin🔗 Links & ResourcesVisit Stochastic Potential’s WebsiteConnect with Joyce on LinkedInFollow Stochastic Potential on LinkedInFollow Joyce on Instagram
