Forward-thinking exploration of the dawn of humanity's new age and the imminent technology-enabled transformation on society, business, and beyond. In SUPERSHIFTS, leading behavioral scientist Dr. Ja-Nae Duane and world-renowned entrepreneur and futurist Steve Fisher deliver an incisive overview of how we are at the end of one 200-year arc and embarking on another. With this new age of intelligence, Duane and Fisher highlight the various catalysts for change currently affecting individuals, businesses, and society as a whole. They also provide a model for transformation that expertly bridges the gap between theory and practice to provide a holistic view of making radical change through three lenses: you as a leader, your organization, and society. Drawing on Duane and Fisher's wealth of collective experience, this book pays particular attention to how emerging technologies, biological revolutions, energy abundance create opportunities for humanity's transformational purpose, and emergence of new intelligent species over the next two hundred years. Readers will find various case studies showing successful and failed responses to disruption, and learn about topics including: What is needed for mankind to thrive beyond the predictions of the singularity, and how that will shift our communications, beliefs, and values How can we create anti-fragile organizations and global systems based on nature's ecosystems Humanity's coexistence with technology, the fall of centralized systems, and the emergence of collective intelligence as a solution for prosperity A guide for change, SUPERSHIFTS earns a well-deserved spot on the bookshelves of executives, entrepreneurs, and leaders seeking to create a better world for themselves, their organizations, and society at large.

"We all love paying with our phones and collecting credit card bonuses, but Prof. Zagorsky shows us that the costs of this system are considerable, and are borne disproportionately by the poor. With a combination of careful research and everyday stories he argues convincingly that if we allow cash to disappear, we will regret it." - ADAM JAFFE, Fred C. Hecht Professor in Economics Emeritus, Former Chair of Economics and Dean of Faculty, Brandeis University Discover why cash is worth keeping for the long run in an increasingly "cashless" economy The Power of Cash: Why Using Paper Money is Good for You and Society is a startlingly insightful new take on the unintended - and often harmful - consequences of our collective embrace of credit cards, debit cards, and electronic services as a replacement for paper money over the last thirty years. Written by Boston University professor and former advisor to the Boston Federal Reserve, Jay L. Zagorsky, the book explains why cash is an essential and useful tool that helps us preserve our privacy, mitigate the risk of being unable to pay due to war or a natural disaster, and assists the poor, unbanked, and disenfranchised as they attempt to navigate an increasingly cashless society. You'll discover if businesses and governments are allowed to refuse to take your U.S. currency and how cash helps to limit the additional fees and costs associated with electronic purchases. Perfect for anyone interested in the ways we pay for things each and every day, The Power of Cash is a must-read for people who want to know about the implications and consequences of our potential shift to a truly cashless economy.

Are you an ambitious hard worker and high-achiever-but feeling stuck, unseen, and struggling to move up in your career? Lorraine K. Lee faced this exact challenge. It took countless conversations with industry leaders and a completely new mindset to show her that more work hours and greater output weren't the tickets to career advancement. To reach her professional goals, she realized it was necessary to become the CEO of her own career-and that to do that, she had to be strategic and intentional in how she established her professional presence in a rapidly changing world of work. In Unforgettable Presence, Lee-who speaks to Fortune 500 organizations, teaches at Stanford Continuing Studies and LinkedIn Learning, and whose career content and courses reaches millions of professionals-shares the practical and tactical advice she learned during more than a decade as a founding editor at top tech firms like LinkedIn and Prezi. This practical guide reframes what we need today to succeed in a competitive corporate landscape and defines professional presence for the modern workplace. No longer is presence restricted to "executive" appearance and how others see us in a physical room. In a post-COVID world where competition grows fiercer each day, presence stretches far beyond our physical spaces and relies just as much on how and where we show up in virtual spaces, like LinkedIn, video calls, and beyond. It's about the career brand we build for ourselves and the reputation that speaks for us even when we're not in the room. It's the critical two-part equation of how and where we're seen. In addition to sharing her own insights, Lee weaves in advice and lessons from her interviews with the world's top business leaders and professionals, including best-selling author Daniel Pink, Radical Candor's Kim Scott, former Late Late Show writer and comedian Fumi Abe, renowned communications expert Vinh Giang, content creator Corporate Natalie, and many more. Unforgettable Presence teaches the tangible and practical techniques to take the great work you're already doing and uplevel the essential hard and soft skills that will ensure you get noticed. Through personal anecdotes, research-backed principles, and insights from the top minds in business, you will learn to: Adopt mindset shifts that put you in the driver's seat of your professional journey Create an authentic and memorable brand that stands the test of time as your career evolves Communicate masterfully on video calls so that you build stronger relationships and create more productive teams Make easy-to-implement changes to your professional presence that will make you stand out in a crowded field Advocate for yourself without feeling slimy Cultivate strategic relationships that boost your credibility and help you be seen as a leader This book is a perfect blend of practicality and real-life anecdotes with actionable tips you can put to use immediately. Unforgettable Presence will guide you to overcoming our modern-day professional obstacles and get the recognition you deserve.
