In his powerful new book, internationally-acclaimed change agent and simplifier Bill Jensen maps your future and the future of work as no one else could.

What are your toughest choices as you lead yourself and others into the future? Jensen has spent years studying that one question and Future Strong answers it fully, simply, powerfully.
Despite all the hyperventilating and Shiny Object Syndrome, technology and massive disruptions do not determine YOUR future. Your future reveals itself only after you have made deeply personal choices about how you will embrace those changes.
Jensen researched and Future Strong reveals the five personal choices that determine your relationship with the future. Choices relating to...
* Inner Truths
* Soul on Fire
* Humble Self
* Sacrifice
* Reliance

Working through each choice is crucial. Because most of today's approaches are not Future Strong they are Future Shackled. You can and must change that. Now.

Future Strong is the road map leaders and individuals need to create strong futures for their themselves and their teams. Each choice is narrated by leaders sharing their extremely compelling stories, followed by practical and easy-to-use how tos.

Jensen's goal for every reader: To know, feel and be able to declare... #IAmFutureStrong. What an amazing future awaits you! Limitless possibilities, yours to shape. If you so choose. Because your choices are where your future begins.

Review:

"Courageous, provocative, and totally original, Future Strong will lead you to a freer, more satisfying life and to your best future."
-- Marshall Goldsmith, author of NY Times best seller, Triggers

"Future Strong exemplifies truly human leadership -- where everyone can discover, develop, and share all their potential. The greatest joy leaders will experience in the journey that Bill Jensen has laid out is the lives you inspire by deeply caring for people. I know. That's the joy I experience every day."
-- Bob Chapman, Chairman and CEO, Barry-Wehmiller; coauthor, Everybody Matters

"Bill Jensen is on point in taking today's corporate environments to task -- far too many are holding back human capacity. He then details the 21st century solutions we need: surrendering rigidity, adaptive thinking, social intelligence, virtual collaboration, connected by courageous leaders. Run, don't walk, to read Future Strong!"
-- Bryan Kramer, CEO, Purematter; TED Speaker; author, Shareology

"Bill Jensen has done it again! Every chapter of Future Strong gave me multiple Aha moments. So many that I felt electrocuted over and over -- to the point where I realized many of our strategies needed to be rethought within the context he has brilliantly laid out. A practical primer on the future of all workplaces."
-- Dennis F. Bonilla, Executive Dean, College of Information Systems and Technology, University of Phoenix
