First+-+Introduction

1. Make a list of jobs that you or others would consider high paying professions. 2. Stand up with the one you are sure of. 3. Sit down as instructed with these prompts: 4. Who is left standing? Why?

= BECAUSE: = "We are moving from an economy and a society built on the logical linear, computerlike capabilities of the Information Age to an economy and a society built on the inventive, empathic, big-picture capabilities of what's rising in its place, the Conceptual Age" (Pink, 2005, p. 1-2).

= First understand... =

1. Right Brain Rising


 * "The left hemisphere controls the right side of the body; the right hemisphere controls the left side of the body" (Pink, 2005, p. 17).
 * "The left hemisphere is sequential; the right hemisphere is simultaneous" (Pink, 2005, p. 18).
 * "The left hemisphere specializes in text; the right hemisphere specializes in context" (Pink, 2005, p. 20).
 * "The left hemisphere analyzes the details; the right hemisphere synthesizes the big picture" (PInk, 2005, p. 22).
 * Left Brain || Right Brain ||
 * controls right side of the body || controls the left side of the body ||
 * sequential || simultaneous ||
 * text || context ||
 * analyzes details || synthesizes the big picture ||

Then understand the shift to the "Conceptual Age"...
Why is it changing?
