Values
Authenticity
You know it when you see it and you don’t see it like you used to. Decency, in thoughts, words and actions, is often the choice less chosen in an attention economy obsessed with impressions over making a positive lasting impression.
Decency
Around what makes sense, how things ought to be and the opportunities or challenges we face each day - common ground is rarified territory fewer and fewer folks know how to find and recognize.
Common Ground
From millisecond moments of clarity to a protracted lifelong testament to one's values, authenticity is challenging to achieve, easy as a keystroke to lose and a beacon of light in a post-fact world of seeming darkness.
