Untapping Latent Potential It is about * Learning to become a child without being childish * Developing a childlike approach to learning not impeded by either ego, identity or fears * Combining roles, functions and domains in their simultaneity * Our capacity to institutionalise doubt and accept being challenged * Liberating ourselves from the notion that we base our futures on our past  Ramnath Narayanswamy, IIM Bangalore

* Defining your North Star by deriving energy from appreciative enquiry and deep questioning * Viewing past successes as impediments to the future * Breaking the image we have of ourselves because it is this precisely this image that puts us on autopilot * Having the courage to be vulnerable by acknowledging what we do not have * Understanding the roots of our core incompetencies
