About this presentation

While many of today's entrepreneurs preach "shipping" early and often, TeachAIDS founder Piya Sorcar believes in the benefits of slowing down to get things right. Sorcar has had to overcome hurdles like technology access, language barriers, and cultural taboos that leave little margin for error.

After working to create and distribute effective AIDS education materials in 70 countries, Sorcar shares her key takeaways for ensuring that you produce your best work, including the benefits of doing meticulous research, vigorously gathering data, and inventing processes to discover new insights about your craft.
