My tweets from John Seely-Brown’s presentation:
- “We have moved from an era of equilibrium to an era of constant dis-equilibrium.” #tcbfuture
- The half-life of a skill used to be 40 years. Now it’s about 5 years. #tcbfuture
- Embrace the mindset of an “entrepreneurial learner” in passionate pursuit of EXTREME learning. #tcbfuture
- Needed: a deep QUESTING disposition amplified via a CONNECTING disposition. #tcbfuture
- Talking w/others about our experiences helps us become more aware of what we don’t realize we ALREADY actually know. #tcbfuture
- It’s not just about GETTING out of your Comfort Zone, but how to get better at getting out of your Comfort Zone more READILY. #tcbfuture
- Reverse Mentorship – the ‘youngsters’ know MORE than the ‘grey beards’ in many cases. Can anyone say…Social Media?! #tcbfuture
- Necessary Identity Shift from: “I am what I wear/own/control” to “I am what I create, share and others build on.” #tcbfuture

To their credit, The Conference Board gave me complete and total control over whatever content and comments I felt appropriate to publish, without limitation, and without prior approval.
