- Just like negativity is bad for your soul, blind optimism can also make you miss the signals you need to be heeding! Most people bumble along in the misguided belief that the future will be a linear extenson of the past. The more you know what's in store, the better able you will be to meet the challenges and really capitalize on your options. So keep abreast of the forces that are shaping work and careers in your part of the world and think about how they will impact on you and those you care for.

- The future is about innovation, and sometime your best, most innovative ideas will come as you talk and work with people who are completely different from you - perhaps they have a different mindset, or come from a different country - or are younger. It is this 'big ideas crowd' – the GLOBALLY CONNECTED BRAIN -that will be a crucial source of inspiration. Your career success will depend in part on your emotional well being and resilience. In a world of ever shifting relationships, it's important that you invest in developing deep restorative relationships with a couple of people - this is your 'regenerative community' and they are crucial to your well being and happiness. Make the investment as soon as you can and make an effort to maintain and build these relationships over decades.

There is also a rise in courses offered by people in co-working spaces such as Skillshare and GeneralAssembly, in Sydney, Fushbirners and in Melbourne TheHub. But even with so many competing formats of educational content, books should still be at the top of your list of self-directed learning resources.
