Explore six conversational capabilities you can cultivate to navigate uncertainty and learn what you need to know when you need to know it.
How do you prepare for a future you can’t predict?
The rate of change is accelerating, the future is increasingly unpredictable, and we’re overwhelmed with mind-boggling complexity. We have less and less time to think, less and less time to get in sync with what’s happening.
We cannot trust conventional wisdom to guide us. We must resolve many long-standing paradoxes between long and short-term thinking, expedient or ethical choices, the individual or the collective.
As the real-time world emerges around us, we can see the pluralistic nature of human society. We are reminded, once again, that human conversation is essential for our success and that anything is possible when we work together.
What is Living in a Real-time World about?
Basically, how to orient yourself and confidently make choices in an increasingly uncertain reality.
No matter what you want, who you’re with, or where you want to go, the six capabilities for living in a real-time world—acceptance, being, listening, communicating, appropriating, and caring—can help you put the past in the past, let go of attachments, and step into the current of the perpetual “now”.
