The questions answered during the show were:

  • "I loved your post about feeling stupid!!! You give the best advice that is grounded in you immense amount of experience! When you say you have helped people unlock their confidence how have you done that?" via Athena
  • "What is your best advice for large companies who are not nimble enough to embrace innovation? How can they restructure to ensure that they not only continue to innovate but also be a sponge that soaks up potential competitors who threaten to disrupt from below?" via Kym
  • "My question: What is the right definition of disruptive Innovation? Now, everyone use this word for everything. It seems as several years ago, everyone use strategy for everything." via Patricia
