Certainty Is Overrated
A workshop for people smart and brave enough to be wrong.
We live in a world full of hot takes, strong opinions, and people who are very sure they’re right. The problem? Certainty makes connection harder. Certainty Is Overrated is an interactive workshop that treats curiosity as a serious (and understanding) superpower.
Through games, conversations, and thought experiments, you will explore how curiosity fuels imagination, softens snap judgment, and opens the door to empathy, understanding, and freer thinking.
