Breaking the Frame explores the hidden assumptions that shape how we see problems, make decisions, and imagine what comes next. Moving from Napoleon and the Titanic to Hollywood, Kodak, storytelling, play, and the Wright brothers, Lyle Sandler examines why expertise, and certainty can sometimes become barriers to possibility. The talk argues that meaningful innovation begins by noticing the frames we have stopped seeing, giving ourselves permission to play beyond them, choosing among possibilities, and testing ideas before certainty arrives. Ultimately, Breaking the Frame is an invitation to see differently, question what feels inevitable, and turn imagination into action.
