This is my one-hundred-fifty-seventh weekly reflection. Here are my takeaways from this week:

• 1st Quarter – Q1 2023 is officially in the record books. Full of unexpected developments, it’s a quarter to remember. I’m wondering if 2023 will be the years of twists and turns.
• Zoom out – This week was a reminder that sometimes it’s helpful to zoom out and look at things over a longer period. Doing so gives context to where you are today.
• The past won’t predict the future – Many people are assuming we’ll get to a norm that looks like the past few years. That belief ignores the fact that today is materially different from the past in many ways, which decreases the chances of the future looking anything like the past. A new norm is more likely, in my opinion.

Week one hundred fifty-seven was a productive week. Looking forward to next week!
