Introduction

Where YOUR destinyand the WORLDs

destiny

are intertwined


6/39


Chaos theory and destiny

So,

Our smallest actions can

all contribute to

devise the world of the

future !

Chaos theory shows that events are not

entirely determined by the past.

Small events in the present can change

dramatically the future.Our destiny is not entirely determined.

We can influence it.


7/39


Our destiny and the worlds destiny

The Fourth Revolution.

The world will be shaken.

Institutions will become obsolete and be

destroyed.

Familiar landmarks will disappear.

Bad intentions or just survival needs willdrive many people to act negatively.

New institutions, habits, organizations will

take over.


8/39



We are the generation of the Fourth

Revolution.

Whether we want it or

not, our generation

will shape the worldof the Collaborative

Age.


9/39



We are the generation of

the Fourth Revolution.We will see it unfold under our eyes,sweeping institutions, corporations,

stable situations, and creating a new

world.

Many old and solid trees will be uprooted

by the Fourth Revolution.

This will make space for many new plants

longing for the sun.

How can we make sure that the new plants

that will grow will benefit the world?


10/39



What needs to bebuilt again will

need deep roots.

It will need deep

connections.


11/39



Today more than ever before,

you can choose to contributeto building strong roots for

the world you want.

Will you choose to change the

world and make the world abetter place?


12/39 Jeremie Averous, 2010

Diving in the

CollaborativeAge

A choice,

your choice.


13/39


The choice of the Age to live in

You can decide to stay in a previous Age.

Like the Orang Asli of Malaysia who live in the

jungle at the door of Kuala Lumpur, lookingfrom far at modern lifes light. And deciding

not to join, deciding to live in the hunter-

gatherer Age


14/39



It is highly respectable to choose to live in a previous Age.

Those who make this choice are often

happy


15/39



Another example of people choosing to live in a previous Age is the Amish

community in the USA. They live in the Agricultural Age.

Often people who decide to live in previous Ages do so in closely knitcommunities. The community supports the needs of the individuals

and prevents the temptation to join the next Age

Choosing to live in a previous

Age certainly diminishes

risk and at the same time,

diminishes opportunities

for individuals.


16/39



Today, we can choose, or not,

to lean into the Collaborative Age


17/39


The Choice of the Age to live in

Choose!

Whatever choice you make, the

worst is not to choose

And whatever you choose, dont ever regret

the other path.

Thriving in the

CollaborativeAge

core daily habits of

the successfulK.E.E.N.


19/39


4 core daily habits of the successful

K.E.E.N.

Here are 4 key daily skills.For You, AND for your contribution to

the world.

Virtual collaborative tools skills Emotional management

Giving for free

Cultivating Communities

Lets assume you have decided to dive into the Fourth Revolution.

(See the manifesto part VII for other keys to success for the K.E.E.N.)


20/39


1- Virtual collaborative tools skills

So that you increase your impact andeffectiveness of your contribution to the

world, using correctly and efficiently social

networks is a skill to be practiced. Daily.

Experiment,

Create,

Share,Connect


21/39


2- Emotional stability

So that your motivation does not get destroyed by the inevitablepersonal responses on interactive tools, emotional stability is key.

It is even more important when using virtual communication

tools than in normal face-to-face communication because of the

potential of misunderstandings.

Emotions can be stronger invirtual communication. Get used

to tame them. Get used to tame

you ego.

Continue to contribute!


22/39


2- Emotional stability

Emotional load is reinforced because exchanges are public, and because

the interaction is still less dense than in face-to-face.

Tips for emotional stability:

Alignment with purpose. Focusing on your purpose willmake you forget the bumps of the road.

Virtual communication skills. Get used to virtualcommunication. Improve your delivery of meaningfulcommunication, avoid misunderstandings.

Letting go. Youll experience small failures andunsatisfying interactions. Dont worry. Let go. They are

nothing compared to the big picture. Community/network support. Get a strong emotional

support from your close community, friends and

significant other.


23/39


3- The habit of giving for free

Giving is the essence of trust. That is the case in real life. Even more so in

virtual life. You need to give to build trust and only then, get things in

return.

Learn and practice giving in your daily life. You might be surprised by

what comes back!


24/39



Giving is the beginning of possibilities. Maybe that little thing you gave,

that little seed you planted in ones mind, will trigger exceptional

realizations. Who knows? Give, and dont expect immediate results.

And, be grateful when you receive. Maybe today you dont know what you will

do with the gift, but eventually youll know.


25/39


Giving is the seed of

unexpected opportunities and

returns


More so, giving to others is

the seed of happiness

Free giving is a skill.

It needs to be practiced.


26/39


4- Cultivating communities

Cultivating communities=

Literacy in collaborative tools

+ emotional management

+ free giving

+ enjoy your time interacting!!!


27/39


4- Cultivating communities

The issue of effectiveness in

cultivating communities

Is like in the real world.

You can spend tremendous amounts

of time interacting at a verysuperficial level.

You can also aim at being effective at

creating deep relationships.

Emotional connection is key.


28/39


A common thread

Experiential learningThere is a common thread to these four skills.

There are 3 keys to success in acquiring and

practicing those skills:

1. Practice,

2. Practice,

3. Practice more!

And a bonus: When you fall, stand up and continue.

Thats just experience.

When do you start?


29/39

insightA quest, YOUR quest


30/39


A quest, your quest

OK, I have decided to dive into the Fourth Revolution.

OK, I have understood that I can contribute to

changing the world, at my scale, using my talents

and my passions.

OK, I have understood that my contribution could even

be decisive but I wont know that when I will give it

out.

But then, how to start? How to overcome inertia? How

to be really sure thats how I can contribute best to

the world?

key questions.

close friends. Hire a coach if you feel you need toseek deeper understanding and meaning.
