Why does this matter? Why does this matter more now? I am sure that, especially after COVID you have noticed how the future of work is going to be substantially different from the way it was in the past 20 to 50 years. 

We grew up in a time of the industrial era. Our education system was designed to help us figure out how:

  • to listen carefully
  • to do things the same way
  • to repeat the process with as little error as possible. 

But the industrial era has now been replaced. We are now moving into the, into the world of the knowledge. 

With the beginning of the internet, we now are in the world of the knowledge worker.

The industrial era rewarded those who remembered facts and numbers. 

Those skills have been replaced with the computer, search engines, and algorithms. 

That new skill that we now have to give our children the ability to find the information, to curate the information and evaluate its place amid the rest of the information.

The world - in all its glory, dirt and grime - has been handed down to my generation by all the hundreds of previous generations who battled through despair, disease, war, and so much more.

What do we do with it? How do we accept this gift? Do we tie a ribbon on it, and hand it forward to the generation after us, or do we open it, take a hammer to it and offer up the shards?

I believe we are capable of generosity and possibility. I believe that the generations coming after us are filled with imagination, moral courage and a passion for righting wrongs and that we are here to empower and encourage them.

I believe that we will create a new tomorrow that protects our environment. As a society before us challenged the morality of keeping slaves though that had been a tradition for centuries, we will not accept an economic structure that demands that we pillage the earth's most precious resources purely to sustain our national economies. Instead, we will protect all the resources, particularly the water and clean air.

I believe we can invent the technologies that allow us to indulge in the advances of modern science and technology, but make the move to a greener use of energy. We can feed the Earth's growing population. We can find meaningful engagement for each human so they contribute to society as a whole, embracing robotics and AI as our ancestors embraced the plough, made bigger, not less, by technology.

I believe in nurturing the generation that follows us with compassion, but also charging them with the responsibility to care for Mother Earth, not to squander its resources.

I trust in the power of connection - families, communities, classes like Acumen & Akimbo that connect like-minded souls to each other so that we are able to foster a mindset of abundance and possibility. I am sustained by my connection to humanity and to nature: to the sunrise, the melting snow, the enduring cycle of tides and daffodils that bloom in the spring. Nature teaches us the resilience of rebirth.

I know that this world will survive past my race. So I believe in the Earth and place my trust in my generation and the generations after me to respect the Earth as a living being that pushes back when hurt but embraces when whole.

I will do what is within my power - stretching that capability to all its might - to make a green and wonderful world available to the next 7 generations, to gift to them as was gifted to me: the wonder, awe and amazement at what Nature can give us.

And in doing so, I honour the memories and sacrifices of the generations before, as well as the powers that created this beautiful Earth and bequeath to the generations that will follow.

I am a dot.

  • I'm just one human in a world of 7.8 billion
  • I exist at a specific point in time, stepping gratefully in the footsteps of those who came before
  • Ours is just one of so many species that have covered this same earth for billions of years
  • Our world is one planet, a dot in a galaxy and universe that is so wide and spans dimensions

I'm a dot.

And like a dot, I believe in connection. Connecting with friends and family. Connecting a young generation with their elders. Connecting problems with solutions and opportunities. Connecting our future with our past. Connecting peoples across space, place and time.

I'm a dot.

While a dot is small, it is not without impact - just ask COVID-19! You pile enough dots on top of each other, and suddenly you have substance and form, weight and shape which we can choose to use to move towards better.

I am a dot.

And a dot is a beginning.

Dec 2 2020 ARE YOU A COURAGEOUS PARENT?

This is a book is for all us parents out there who feel like we are being called on to make BIG decisions for our children - those life-impacting, monumental decisions.

  • It is for the parents-in-waiting, especially the first-timers who are simultaneously sure they’re going to do it better than their parents, and unsure if they can do it at all. (Yes, you can!)
  • It is for the parents of toddlers who are worrying about where they put their hands that they then put in their mouths, whether they can pass something along to their adoring grandparents.
  • This is for parents of young children who are weighing the lack of socialization, the effect on their long-term learning by a possible delay in schooling.
  • It is for parents of elementary schoolers who know that their peers create a learning environment that encourages children to explore and get creative.
  • It is for the parents whose children are in high school - where rules were always already getting broken.
  • And for the parents whose child is heading off to university. An uncertain moment already fraught with emotion and discussions on preparedness, now heightened with debates on COVID-19.
  • And it is for parents like me at the other end of the parenting journey, whose children are out in the wider world, already making independent decisions that we have to find the courage to live with. They balk at being called ‘children’ having stepped into their own maturity - but to us, they continue to be our babies.

I’ll love you forever
I’ll like you for always
As long as I’m living _

*Love you Forever *

It is about having the courage to provide them with that parenting assist, without interrupting their natural process of maturing.

We have now shown that nations can quickly agree on a consistent course of action, humans can make sacrifices for the common good.

As we ease back into a new normal of life after COVID, is there an opportunity to play leapfrog? Can we make economic and social decisions that ignore the actions that hurt the environment? And jump straight towards a new post-COVID normal that also supports human’s continuing presence on Earth while absorbing an accelerated Future of Work?

Regardless of whether we’re able to turn the clock on climate, Weather and all its ripple effects are going to impact what started as the Future of Work and will soon be the new Nature of Work.

There is a tight synergy between these events. 

Bottom line, climate acts as a magnifier for all the issues facing the Future of Work. 

We have a shrinking window within which to effect change – and the COVID crisis has gifted us with the vision that it is possible for peoples from all nations to work together quickly, to make momentous decisions with speed, to dissolve the invisible constraints we had placed on our ability to take action.

Enjoy this replay of an episode that I taped in 2019 about the inevitable impact of climate & environment on all our job choices as we move forward.

I talk about why I feel it is important to include a discussion of the impact of Climate Crisis and Climate Catastrophe in any conversation with GenZ as they debate their options in the Future of Work.

Mitigation is a great opportunity and a necessary one for the protection of our planet.
But there are also opportunities in the discussion on how we prepare for a new version of our world. In both, there is a space for activism and innovation.

I seek to inspire a new generation to fight with all the tools at their disposal - their voice, their brain and their ideas, not purely to scare them.

I look forward to an engaging dialogue.

What is the value in using your campus career centre? 
    As we pivot into a new era of the Future of Work, can we discover a different way of exploring our relationship to work, and therefore the jobs and careers that we will apply for?

    I was surprised that many current students are not making use of their campus careers centres. This is a resource that helps your learning institution assist you in the broader set of career exploration conversations that arise when you are exposed to new ideas, new people, new technologies. 

    It is OK to discover that the world is broader than the 5 professions you knew about in high school, and that you can pivot as you mature and figure out the range of challenges that will fuel your passion for work over the coming decades.

    For final year students who are under time pressure to graduate with a job in hand, as well as keep on top of exams, projects and academics, the Career Resource Centre can help you leverage your most precious resource - your time.

    As we pivot into a new era of the Future of Work, can we discover a different way of exploring our relationship to work, and therefore the jobs and careers that we will apply for?

    I was surprised that many current students are not making use of their campus careers centres. This is a resource that helps your learning institution assist you in the broader set of career exploration conversations that arise when you are exposed to new ideas, new people, new technologies. 

    It is OK to discover that the world is broader than the 5 professions you knew about in high school, and that you can pivot as you mature and figure out the range of challenges that will fuel your passion for work over the coming decades.

    For final year students who are under time pressure to graduate with a job in hand, as well as keep on top of exams, projects and academics, the Career Resource Centre can help you leverage your most precious resource - your time.

    Share you thoughts on the value of careers centers to todays student with those around you. Leave a comment on this site, or on LinkedIn.

    I recalled Dave's daughter performing her Dad's poem and again was struck with the way Dave could paint a picture with words. It was his trademark.

    The poem was written to appeal to a younger audience, so I used a Dr Seuss rhythm in reciting it. I hope it will engage you and inspire you to think creatively about the big and little ways we can take Climate Action.

    It is also about the opportunities out there, especially as we include the Climate Crisis - mitigation and resolution while discussing the Future of Work. This is a big problem, which will need a variety of ideas as we figure out how to stabilize it and live with it.

    Thanks to his family for giving me permission to use it in this episode.

    Make: Did this poem make you think differently?

    Take: What action can you choose to take as a result of listening?

    Talk: I think Dave would have wanted us to talk about preserving the things he cared for, and to be inspired to be creative as we develop solutions 'Now put those brain cells to better use, Learn new ways to turn on the juice'.

    If you are also inspire by this poem please share it forward with others (crediting David Adeney!). And let me know. I would love to share the anecdotes with his family in thanks for their generosity.

How we make an assumption of trust in order to make quick decisions as we go about creating efficiency in our regular lives.

    Based on Tim Levine's Default to Trust premise, Gladwell analyzed why we humans seek to trust.

    By breaking down a number of high-profile cases, he analyzes how some of the most deprave situations came about. It is scary reading.

    There is a cost to defaulting to trust - that sometimes we get betrayed.

    But what is the effect to us if we choose instead to question every human interaction? What does that do to us?

    Alongside most of the world's leaders was a young climate activist who has become the voice for her generation:

    "You are failing us" she says, "You are failing us, But the young people are starting to understand your betrayal. The eyes of all future generations are upon you, and if you choose to fail us, I say, we will never forgive you."

    In this introduction, I talk about why I feel it is important to include a discussion on Climate Crisis and Climate Catastrophe in a conversation with GenZ as they debate their options in the Future of Work.

    Mitigation is a great opportunity and a necessary one for the protection of our planet.
    But there are also opportunities in the discussion on how we prepare for a new version of our world. In both there is a space for activism and innovation.

    I seek to inspire a new generation to fight with all the tools at their disposal - their voice, their brain and their ideas, not purely to scare them.

    I look forward to an engaging dialogue.

    How can we impact the Future?
    Listen daily. Share ideas. Small ideas, small actions. Everywhere.

    What did we do before plastic?
    Today as some UK supermarkets commit to reducing the use of plastic packaging for fruit and vegetables, we discuss what we did before plastic.
    And it brings back a memory of a natural version of water wings as well as some research about how this year's monsoon is late and it is causing terrible suffering in India.

    Awareness: Research the impact of the change in climate on the delay in the monsoons
    Action: Brain storm ideas on what you would do differently without plastic. Then take action on some of those alternatives. What is the policy and plan for your local grocer to move away from plastic?

How can we impact the Future? Listen daily, share ideas. Small ideas, small actions. Everywhere.

    As David Attenborough tells us, the window for action is shrinking.
    We need to take daily actions to raise awareness and adjust our impact.

    For many of us, our first love of nature came through watching naturalist David Attenborough present his luxuriously filmed shows Planet Earth, Life on Earth and Blue Planet.

    He has explained the impact of man on the planet, and remains actively engaged in getting us to move into action. He has a heightened sense of urgency - your kindergarten student in 2019 will be dealing with social climate consequences by their graduation if we do not act quickly.

    Awareness: Spread the word. Talk to parents, grandparents and educators.
    Action: Make one climate related choice daily
