An overlooked growth opportunity: Uncertainty

Very few people will be imprisoned the way Sam Goodwin was — for nine weeks in a harrowing situation six years ago. Goodwin says we can all be "held hostage" by any number of things and that our response to life's challenges is what sets us apart.   Goodwin, an author and tech startup founder, will deliver the keynote address June 16 at the AICPA & CIMA Not-for-Profit Industry Conference in National Harbor, Md.   Learn more about Goodwin's message and story in the latest episode of the Journal of Accountancy podcast.   What you'll learn from this episode: ·         Goodwin's "Winning Through Uncertainty" theme for the June keynote address. ·         The worldwide travel quest that landed him in a hostage situation in Syria. ·         Goodwin's explanation about feeling a sense of "survivor's responsibility." ·         His work overseas in the technology and not-for-profit sectors. The reason Goodwin says "uncertainty is a horrible thing to waste."
