Strategist and former Financial Times executive Diana Wu David is passionate about helping companies and executives to be more entrepreneurial, resilient and successful in the face of constant change.
In her book “Future Proof: Reinventing Work in the Age of Acceleration”, Diana shares powerful practices to shift mindsets and gear up for success in a rapidly changing world.
For too many of us, work has become an inescapable treadmill of personal sacrifice. But having the career we want shouldn’t require us to lose ourselves. We all deserve a humanistic and sustainable job environment–and now we can have it.
In Future Proof, Diana Wu-David tells how her own career-focused existence shifted after the suicide of a friend, prompting her to realize there was a better way to work. Drawing on real-life stories, arguing for being truly present in life, she shows you how you can use innovation in your career and life–including experimentation, collaboration, reinvention, and recalibrating success–to make your career more resilient, relevant, competitive, and enjoyable in an ever-changing global landscape.
You can have a prosperous career packed with meaning, joy, and purpose–and this book is the tool that will help you get off that treadmill and run free.
