Contradictions aren't problems to solve, they're portals to possibility

Contradictions Aren’t Problems

A non-profit was torn between being data-driven and deeply human-centered.

Some argued for metrics. Others defended storytelling.

The shift came when leadership asked:
“How do our numbers tell a story and how can our stories support the numbers?”
That reframing led to one of their most powerful donor campaigns.

Contradictions at work aren’t red flags, they’re invitations.
To think deeper.
To reframe tension.
To lead through complexity instead of escaping it.

Weird Wisdom® at Work is about helping teams sit in the “both/and” until something new emerges.
