Interesting session this morning looking at data and trends particularly with the Baby Boomers and upcoming Gen Y's.
Heard some new terminology such as "encore living" which is the word for retirement - a notion which is out of reach for many baby boomers these days. John also spoke about the increasing prevalence of 'secular spiritualists', those people who now believe that the great American Dream is about leaving behind something significant, having an impact which is larger than the individual. This resonates quite strongly with me as that is a philosophy I hold dearly and which showed up in my Gallop Strengths Quest (my number 1 strength is 'Connectedness').
John also spoke about the emerging 'tribes' which are a result of social media and how Gen Y are truly becoming a Global community with stats showing 40% EXPECT to live and work in a foreign capital city at some point in their lives.
Leads nicely into my session this afternoon. Off to concurrent session 1 now.
