Modern life is full of chance encounters, changing plans, delayed journeys, human errors, and—yes—even pandemics. But what if we could use such unpredictability to our advantage? Christian Busch, PhD, has spent a decade exploring how, if acted upon, unexpected moments can enhance our worldview, expand our social circles and create new opportunities for innovation. In this talk, Busch shares how we can use uncertainty as a pathway to more joy, purpose, and success, for companies and individuals alike.
