Technological, organizational and cultural change can be frightening, as well as tremendously personal. In her latest lecture, Dr. Jennifer James provides you with a framework for incorporating these changes into your life.

As you watch this program, you will learn how to use perspective and history as a way of helping you understand where you are and where you’re going.

  • Skill 2: Recognizing the Future
  • Skill 3: Harnessing the Power of Myths and Symbols
  • Skill 4: Mastering New Forms of Intelligence
  • Skill 5: Doing More with Less-Harnessing Energy

Using "workouts" relating to each skill, Jennifer James will help you develop specific tools for managing the rapid pace of change and for developing the skills that you’ll need to thrive in the 21st century.

Key Learning Points:

  • Enhance your understanding of the today’s change
