Coming in the Fall of 2021
Now What: Reinvention and the Role of Optimism in our Post-Covid World
by Jim Carroll / Oblio Press 2021

Reinvention surrounds us. It defines us.

It is inherent to our future, fundamental to our success, and a pathway to our action. In the book, I take a look at the concept of ‘reinvention’ from a personal, business, and societal perspective.

What is the essence of the mindset of those who have successfully reinvented? What are the key concepts that leaders need to think about to align their organizations to the reality of a vastly different future – and act upon it? How have nations aligned to the idea of ‘doing what’s next’ rather than ‘doing what has already been done’ in order to enhance their opportunity in the next economy?

Reinvention comes in different attitudes, strategies, disruptive thinking, and actions. I’m working to define the opportunities of reinvention; lessons from world leaders, both personal and corporate who have achieved it, the lessons we can learn from them – and specific strategies to redefine and reinvent your own future.

Now What? We all need a powerful pathway into the future, the mindset necessary to get there, and the bold actions that must be pursued!
