We're living in interesting times. Information overload is a very real thing, but fortunately, so is the growing demand for people who have the skills to ascertain where trends are headed, and how technology will impact the future for themselves and for the companies that they work with. In this episode, we talk with futurist Shermon Cruz about his book "Futures Literacy", which provides valuable insight into what it means to not only embrace change as a good thing but to actually seek it out and use it as a competitive advantage in your own professional and personal endeavors.
When we are future literate, we are able to harness the ability to create peace and harmony in our surroundings and at the same time expand our minds by creating new opportunities and possibilities that do not exist in this very moment, but do in the future! Joining us is the Chair of the Association of Professional Futurists and the Founder of the Center for Engaged Foresight, Shermon Cruz!
