"Some things benefit from shocks; they thrive and grow when exposed to volatility, randomness, disorder, and stressors and love adventure, risk, and uncertainty. By grasping the mechanisms of antifragility we can develop a systematic and broad guide to non-predictive decision making under uncertainty in any situation in which there is randomness, unpredictability, opacity, ambiguity or incomplete understanding of things.” - Nassim Nicholas Taleb, former trader and hedge fund manager.
What Taleb describes is a term he describes as Antifragility which goes beyond robustness and developing resilience. Antifragility is associated with risk-taking and exposure to stresses that allow a system or entity to not simply become resilient but emerge better than before and become more robust.

What is Working Smarter?
Working Smarter is an open online conversation forum. Every 1st Thursday of the month professionals from all walks of life get-together to discuss and share personal experiences around a theme.
Working Smarter sessions are an attempt to offer an uncomplicated, relaxed forum for “water cooler chats”. It’s an environment where different people meet, talk, explore a theme, self-reflect, ask questions, ponder, listen. All in 1 hour. No fees, no selling, no recordings.
