Montreal, Winter 2025. A blizzard howls outside. A white world of blowing snow makes it impossible to travel across the street let alone around the world. Blizzards also ravage our social, political, and cultural worlds, rendering it impossible to know if we, the citizens of the world, will find our way back to civility, humanity, and prosperity before one of the predicted cataclysms makes the question mute. This morning, as I reflect on my life and career, I find myself wondering if anything we have learned is powerful enough to successfully guide our communities, companies, and countries through this seemingly devastating moment in history. We yearn for an interconnected, multicultural, global society that equally celebrates our individuality, our cultures, and our ability to collectively create beauty, stability, and the innovations the world so desperately needs. Which of us has the vision and courage to guide us back to a more optimistic future? To guide us home? What am I, along with my international and cross-cultural colleagues, contributing? Are we obsolete or crucial for the world to flourish? I wish I had the answer. I am not sure I do.
