Session Title
Are You Facing Extinction?
Description
Have you had your head down focusing on your job, your quotas, your family, your responsibilities and overall going through day to day living your life? Meanwhile, a new technology, product, process, or changing culture is sneaking behind you ready to pounce and turn your skills and knowledge into fossils. Of course you read your industry news and keep up with the latest gadgets and apps, but how can you think past what is in front of you and get a glimpse of what is lurking in the shadows? How can you cut through the clutter of "news" and spend time with the information that will impact your life? Sherry will introduce the few trends that she sees as about to have a huge impact on our jobs and how we live our lives and lead a discussion about what's next.
