A great list of 10 workplace skills of the future from IFTF -

I like this list.  If nothing else, it helps to explains why people don’t understand what I do.  Most of my friends think that I’m on holiday in the US.  I wouldn’t call sleeping at 1am (after working after >16h on the plane) and then waking up at 6.30am to work somemore a holiday.  Even if I am in a hotel and checking my email in my PJs.
