Our Greatest Challenge as Visionaries Explained
In another post, I talked about three common obstacles that visionaries and the people they lead often face, commonly as a result of perfectionism. Today I want to focus on a fourth obstacle that is the most pervasive and the most challenging for those who face it, in themselves as well as in their team […]
A Future That Works
Of the many people who plan to continue working past retirement age, a significant number are or will be entrepreneurs. According to the Kauffman Foundation, people ages 55 to 64 consistently start more new businesses than those in any other age group, and this has been true for about a decade. We also know from […]
Equal Work for Equal Pay
As many of you know, Equal Pay themes are an opportunity to refocus on the gender gap in pay between women and men. It’s hard to believe that even in 2018, U.S. women are still earning annually between 52 and 79 cents for every dollar men earn for the same jobs, with black women and […]

In 2017 surveys showed a large majority of Boomers planning to continue working past retirement age, some by necessity and some by design. But now we can see signs of economic recovery with over 50 percent of Boomers born in 1946 saying they are now fully retired. Does this mean that Boomers are headed for […]
What Is a Futurist?
One of the most common questions I get asked is, what is a futurist? (And the corollary, of course—what is an Everyday Futurist specifically?) Some people hear the word and think of psychics and crystal balls, but a professional futurist is not a psychic. Futuring involves a set of strategic, scientific, and intuitive skills that anyone can learn to forecast the future, spotting trends and critical shifts in your own life as well as in the world.
What’s Your Success Look Like
In Seth Godin’s blog post, he makes an excellent point about why we sometimes don’t get very far in our endeavors, even when we are taking action every day. Often out of fear, our actions are either too small, too easy, to get us anywhere, or, out of our impatience, they are too big and […]
