Dear Mr. Jarche,

Thank you for your posts. I have read your articles for some time now, thanks to @raesmaa. I am very interested in future skills and work as I am together with Mr. Jari Kaivo-oja, one of Europe's leading futurologists, writing a new book "BohoBusiness" that aims to help people win over the machine.

To the list of skills I'd like to add:

Meta-cognitive skills: we need to learn to think the thinking, invent the invention and innovate the innovation. In other words we need to think the big idea beyond thoughts in order to create strong intentions that empower actions that have true meaning and value.

Co-patterning: Dialogue that allows us think and discuss the unthinkable that has not yet started to emerge but are bubbling under starting to shape into random words and images.

Phenomenal learning: The skill to create, realize and be aware of phenomenons and to turn ideas into awesome phenomenons that have meaning and power.

Mobilizing energy: In the new world we do not have the possibility to study and become familiar to everybodys motivations. New new leadership is about mobilizing energy towards the common good and common goals. To find out what makes people tick and creates movement sometimes in a very short time.

One more thing: we need a lot more openness and acceptance for diversity and different people. I am also the vice-president of the Inventors Factory in Helsinki. We help inventors. Too often I hear from them how they (some of them are truly eccentric I can tell you) get rejected because the official systems are not prepares to confront the weird and the non-existing. In other words the system likes uniforms and past successes.

Best regards,
Cristina
