What if excellence has been misunderstood all along?
At the first edition of , shared a story that challenged one of the most celebrated ideas in modern work culture:
That excellence is possible by working very hard. That excellence means doing more.
Her presentation explored a different perspective.
That excellence might have less to do with how many hours you spent in the office, and more to do with having the capacity to give your very best.
Being effective is not the same as being permanently busy. And in a world increasingly shaped by AI, this distinction matters even more.
The advantage will not belong to those who can produce endlessly, but It will belong to those who can think clearly, protect their attention, and focus on what creates real value.
Less, but better. 💫
