​The first time I read Alvin Toffler's work was in highschool - Future Shock. I was mesmerized by his predictions about the effect of technology on society and our well-being. So much of what he foretold has come to fruition. In the case of learning, we are seeing this now. In my lifetime, I have had to re-tool regularly as new technology has emerged. But, the re-tooling hasn't only been technological - it's been about unlearning norms and expectations for behavior in the workplace and relearning those new norms. What has been the biggest thing you've had to unlearn and relearn?

​This has certainly been true in my life! Perfect example: Writing a doctoral dissertation. When the times get tough (and they definitely do!) I remind myself that "I have this!" Another example: When I've had to balance a lot going on at once, and I wonder how I'll get it all done, I remind myself "I can do this, I have before, I will again!" When have you created outcomes with positive (or negative) thinking?
