When Will We See What Isn’t There?

Seeing what isn't there isn't easy but I'm convinced it is an essential component of unlearning -- which I believe will be of the most critical skills of the future. It will only become more important as the pace of technological change increases and knowledge spreads ever faster.  I have long felt the health care [...]

Experiential Leadership Training: Using History to Navigate into the Future

As a professional futurist it has always struck many people as odd that I have also written a book on the leadership lessons of Lewis & Clark. The reason I did so is because I am a strong proponent of metaphorical learning experiences as well as using history as a guide for the future. In [...]

Unlearning School

The title of this post is purposely intended as a double entendre. It could be read as we must "unlearn many of the things we learned in school" (which is true) or it might also be reading as a noun -- as in society needs a school of unlearning.As I have been developing my business [...]
