Disconnected Tranquility
Not a job. It is a state of mind. Notes on technology through the events that break it, the people who lead through them, and the second act.

Nothing here identifies a client or breaks a confidence.

Apprentices and sorcerers
When I left Sony I told colleagues my apprentices had all become sorcerers, so I would need new ones. On growing technology leaders, and what coaching changes.
Act 1, Scene 1

Think unconstrained.
