Helped me figure out a new way to plan and focus.

After having seen the execution and de-brief portions presented at an Afterburner seminar at work, I was curious to know about the other concepts: the brief, culture (motherhood), etc. It's delivered with similar energy and clarity. He makes valuable points and shares the types of interesting stories you'd expect along the way. I've used the rankless de-brief successfully with project groups and recommend trying this method.
