This isn’t the first time that I’ve heard this talk or a similar one from Daniel Pink and his book Drive. Maybe it’s the animation that compels me to make a post. Or maybe it’s the fact that purpose has popped up for the second time today. Or maybe it’s the talk at the board retreat that has me thinking again about self-direction (autonomy), intrinsic motivation, conceptual understanding, critical thinking… Or maybe it’s because Open Studio* is often one of my favorite parts of the day and I’ve been missing it too often recently.

*Open Studio is the NMY equivalent to Google’s 20 percent time or Atlassian’s free 24-hours per quarter described in the video.
