3. Future Skills: Preparing for the 4th Industrial Revolution (published April 2019)
Today we are at the beginning of what has been termed the 4th Industrial Revolution. This isn’t about some ‘far future’ of work. In many ways the future is already here! The pace of change is rapid and the world of work is being transformed by technology at an ever increasing pace. Will you be left behind or will you be ready for change? To be prepared for the future you have to understand it. Will there be enough employment in the future, and if so what will that work be? Which occupations will thrive, and which ones will decline? By one popular estimate, 65% of children entering primary school today will ultimately end up working in completely new job types that don’t yet exist! This course gives you an overview of the different new technologies that are driving change and the skills you and your loved ones need to develop to survive and thrive in this new world of the 4th industrial revolution. This isn’t a time to sit back and wait for events to unfold around us. What actions should we take today? What should we tell our children and grandchildren, colleagues, friends and neighbours about the future of work? Those individuals and organisations that understand the future of work, and prepare for it, will be the best placed to succeed.

4. Monkey on My Back (published October 2014)
‘Monkey on My Back’ is about my own personal experience of pursuing a doctoral degree which I achieved in 2012. This was a tough personal journey full of ups and downs and soul searching on my overall vision and future direction for my life. I struggled with issues such as the ‘Impostor Syndrome’ and I agonized over whether I should I quit the PhD or not. There are good lessons in the book on what to do to achieve any tough goal such as how to use the power of your own mind to visualise success, how to avoid destructive thinking and how to harness the power of routines and habits to ensure eventual success. Most importantly you need to answer the big question before embarking on your goal – is the ladder leaning against the right wall?

C. Recommended Products
On this website I recommend both my own and third party products and services which I believe are of the highest standards and will support your personal growth and development. I have personally tested the third party products and services I recommend.
1. GoalEnforcer
Here is a wonderful planning tool that I have used for many years. GoalEnforcer is a very intuitive way to plan projects. It is fast and easy to use. I use the software to plan all my projects and update these plans on a weekly basis. I love the ease of use of the software. The fact that I have stuck with this software for many years shows how good it is. I highly recommend you use it to plan your goals and projects.

2. The Journal by DavidRM Software
I have used this journal software for the past number of years and love it. As discussed in my book ‘Experiments in Personal Change‘ I write in my journal twice daily to reflect, to plan and to record what is going on in my life. The software allows me to time travel to the past (to see what I was doing, feeling etc) and travel to the future (to leave notes for my future self). The software is ideal for Journal Therapy which is the act of writing down thoughts and feelings to sort through problems and come to deeper understandings of oneself or the issues in one’s life.

3. Hypnosis Downloads
I am a strong believer in changing any negative and destructive sub-conscious thoughts which drive our habitual behaviours. One way to do this is through self-hypnosis. The following course from Uncommon Knowledge is designed to programme your mind for success. I recommend products from Uncommon Knowledge as they are well put together and high quality.
