We’re a very collaborative bunch. From time to time, we like to get a bead on the SSDM Team and one of the most opportune times is at the start of the New Year. We asked SSDMers what they learned in 2019, or perhaps, what they had learned previously but actually realized last year (a not so subtle distinction).
Below is the tally. Looks like we’re not only a collaborative bunch, but a pretty thoughtful one too! Unless you’re Lisa, and then, the reality is that ice cream trumps philosophy. And honestly, she speaks the truth.
