About this episode

"Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response." - Viktor Frankl

The Think Day is a single day each month where you disconnect from your day-to-day professional responsibilities and spend a few hours thinking on bigger picture topics and questions. There are five question prompts you can use to guide your process.
