Think and act local, national and global (Episode 232)
Forget about “Think global. Act local.” Instead, embrace “Think and act local, national and (!) global!”
When you do all three, you “Think and act like a human.”
Last week was the perfect mix of local, national, and global.
On Monday, I gave a pro-bono speech for a local senior citizen group in Lidingö, where I live.
On Wednesday, I did a workshop on creativity for the top 100+ leaders at Ellevio, one of Sweden’s largest electricity network companies.
On Friday, I delivered a keynote speech for #TeXcellence in Nigeria, one of the largest tech conferences in Africa.
Mixing insights, inspiration and learnings from a 91-year old Swedish neighbour, with lessons from the inside of one of the largest players in the energy transformation sector in Sweden and then hearing how Africa is changing innovation in tech – all in the same working week – was such a wonderful mix of small and big, local and global, familiar and unknown. Old and new.
I will say it again: Embrace “Think and act local, national and (!) global!”
When you do all three, you “Think and act like a human.”
