Futurist | Speaker | Writer

Former vice chairman of the World Future Society and one of the top financial brokers according to Barron’s Magazine, Bob successfully predicted events and trends that have had a major impact on business and society—including the subprime crisis, the S&L and Mutual Savings bank collapse, and the rise of women in business.

Passionate about the valuable insights that can be gained from thinking like a futurist, Bob wants to see individuals and organization become more visionary in their approach, and looks for every opportunity to help facilitate that. He has fascinating stories to tell and experiences to relate—and a unique ability to connect the dots, see patterns and trends, and inspire individuals and organizations to understand and plan for what lies ahead.

“I don’t have a crystal ball, just a good looking glass into the future.”

Essentially futurists anticipate what could occur in the future. Thinking like a futurist involves combining data with creative thinking to foresee upcoming trends and events and proactively prepare for them.

One thing that futurists all have in common is curiosity, which is a quality everyone has and can learn to use.

Looking to the future can be invaluable for executives and entrepreneurs in any profession. It can help you navigate challenges and make the most of opportunities that lie ahead, five, ten, even twenty years from now. It can also give you a massive advantage over your competitors, who may just be looking month to month or quarter to quarter.

My goal is to share the lessons I’ve learned through years of experience to help you figure out how to act today so you’re better prepared for success tomorrow.
