How to
change if
there is fear?
When we change we
feel fear. The opposite
to fear is not courage,
it is Love.
- Tobias Mayer
“
”
We need love to
change the
world.
Love
How much we love ourselves?
How much we love Agile?
How much we love what we do?
How much we love our teams and colleagues?
How much we want those people are better?

Emotional
Memorable
Vivid
Challenging
Generates a story
Conjures new behavior and thinking
Design creates stories, and
stories create memorable
experiences, and great
experiences have this
innate ability to change the
way in which we view our
world.
