“Organize your life around the idea of spontaneous serendipity – don’t plan, but react and adapt!” – Futurist Jim Carroll
I can be hopelessly disorganized at some things, but ruthlessly creative in the engine of my mind. I might have challenges planning what I might need to be doing 20 minutes from now because I’m too busy thinking about what might happen 20 years from now.
The life of a futurist is sometimes spent in a different time zone, and so we need some forgiveness on the fact that we lack most basic organizational skills!’

This is one of the leading players in the healthcare insurance and group benefits market in Ohio, and they invited me in for a talk on the future of healthcare. In attendance were senior executives, HR and benefits managers for major employers throughout the region.
While political volatile rages, the science and technology of healthcare isn’t slow down, and I put some context on the transformative trends that can redefine our approach to some of the more complex issues of our time. Highmark is part of the Blue Cross group, and I’ve keynoted at least 15 other Blue Cross events over the last 15 years.
I didn’t have a picture of the stage, but did get this great photo during my morning walk in the City of Bridges. That’s their HQ in the background!

“Get ahead of the fast future, before it gets ahead of you!” – Futurist Jim Carroll
If you think about it, that’s a pretty solid reason as to why it’s critical to focus on.

I love it when I get repeat gigs! Back in 2010, I was invited into this annual event, to speak to 250 cattle ranchers (who represented several billions of dollars worth of cattle) on the future trends with ranching, food, consumer behaviour and more. I reported on it at length in a few blog posts.
They invited me back again this year for a keynote that took a look at the new world of consumer influence, issue messaging and more. In the era of fake news and rapid myth-information, cattle ranchers need to do a better job in telling their story to the world, and that was the entire focus of the event this year.
In my opening keynote, I put these trends into perspective. And, to be honest, I was blunt with them that if they recognize that some misinformation exists, they should let their emotions drive their passion for purpose.
Hence, a rather undiplomatic slide. But it did get a lot of retweets!
