Question: What happens at the intersection of US Ave. and Japanese Blvd?
Answer: The convergence of career guidance, manga, movie previews, and book writing.
AKA - Super Cool Innovation.
I attended a great event this past Wednesday organized by my good friend Michelle James, CEO of The Center for Creative Emergence. Her event featured New York Times best selling author Dan Pink to an audience of about 140 people. He discussed his most recent book - The Adverntures of Johnny Bunko A very cool career guidance book for the 21st century. The book discusses the 6 lessons of satisfying, productive careers.
1. There is no plan.
2. Think strengths, not weaknesses
3. It’s not about you.
4. Persistence trumps talent.
5. Make excellent mistakes
6. Leave an imprint.
Pick it up. Johnny could be just the person you've been looking for. . .
