A letter from the Responsive team

None of us on the Responsive Conference organizing team have had a conventional career path. From circus acrobat to lab technician, culinary magazine editor, performing artist, founder, and startup executive – each of us has worked in a variety of industries with many different kinds of teams

The common thread, however, is a focus on people.

Individually, humans can be incredible learners, capable of resilience and adaptation. But together, in well-functioning teams, we can accomplish more.

We have always been drawn to the magical, spontaneous connections that happen when exceptional people come together in the same place – whether on stage or within a hyper growth startup.

We strive to create spaces for humans to connect authentically and meaningfully.

In early 2016, I produced a day-long "Un-conference" on the Future of Work. Attendee enthusiasm was overwhelming, and he saw the appetite for an annual conference about work — thus, Responsive Conference was born.

Our goal with Responsive Conference is not just to talk about human connection, behavior, and work. Rather, we are creating a learning and connection experience where we can actually embody these ideas.

We are thrilled to be entering our ninth year of creating memorable and connected experiences through Responsive Conference—and we look forward to sharing this community with you.

Welcome to Snafu, a newsletter about resilience, learning, and behavior change. There are two different ways to tackle something difficult. You can plot, and plan, and spend months studying your challenge. And then you can make a single attempt – and hopefully succeed. Or you can do the opposite, and study your challenge while attempting it. Both of these approaches are valid, but I prefer the second.
