When is a change a real change? When it is a paradigm shift!
The term "paradigm shift" gets tossed around. Its meaning has become more and more hazy since 1962, when Thomas Kuhn first applied the term to The Structure of Scientific Revolutions (University of Chicago Press, 2012).

HSD offers ways to build your capacity to become a master learner and a generative doer.

I was recently thinking about Rudyard Kipling’s poem “If”, particularly the lines:
“If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you”
