The Ability to Respond
Taking responsibility is not the same as taking blame or fault on all that happens to you.
It’s taking an empowered approach to respond with ability.
No matter the circumstances, you can put space between stimulus and response.
You can choose to operate with self-agency.

Learn by doing projects for existing companies. (This isn’t new either.)
Learn by doing projects for existing companies before they ask. (This is new-ish.)”
