Places

Nitzan Hermon

We work in places. A place is a location (/medium) where (/a form of) communication happens. It can be an office, Slack community, regular Zoom meetings where people for leadership advice, or a website.

Asynchronous places are media, prepackaged ideas written for people the author does not know.

Synchronous places are a canvas for innovation. Where we can meet the people we’re in service of and consider (/design) how we communicate. Then, we sense the value (/energy) and can seek the right balance (/system/equilibrium) of listening and speaking, which lets us grow (in the meaning we see) while helping others do the same.
