(I028) Rooted in Heritage: Leading in a Digital Age
Empathy. Self-awareness. Presence. These aren’t just “soft skills”—they’re survival skills in a tech-saturated world.

From my conversation with David Cory of EITC to the robot monk at Kyoto’s Kōdai-ji Temple, I’ve seen how the ancient and the emerging can harmonize. The real edge today? It’s in embracing the paradox—rooted in heritage, open to what’s next.
