Jobs are changing, technology is accelerating, and we must adapt with new skills. Award-winning author, Andrea Clarke, shares advice for upgrading our skills to suit a competitive workplace. The need for skills that defy disruption has never been so urgent, as traditional workplace models give way to confronting new rules of engagement. If you’re looking for job security, growth and acceleration in a radical, new workforce, then Future Fit is the place to start. Award-winning author Andrea Clarke shares her experience, expertise and tactical advice on how to become truly Future Fit. “The future of work is here and it’s about talent – your talent. It’s about upgrading our human skills because they’re landing differently in a hybrid environment,” says Clarke. “These skills are powerful differentiators in a dynamic and demanding new workplace.”Using her experience from a vibrant and varied career, Clarke explores the eight ‘real skills’ we need for the 2020 Reputation Capital, Adaptability, Communication, Networking, Creativity, Problem-solving, Leadership and Learning.A former Washington D.C. news reporter, Iraqi humanitarian aid worker and EdTech pioneer, Clarke founded FutureFitCo in 2012 – a business that trains emerging leaders to accelerate these core competencies. The Future Fit Digital Program, adapted from this book, is delivered globally to multi-national organisations.

Over the ages, handwritten letters have facilitated some of the most intimate exchanges between people. The words of love letters allow us insights into the private relationships of people across centuries, cultures, and continents. While many anthologies of love letters exist, a book reproducing actual love letters in the author’s own hand has not previously been published, and this book features letters from ancient Egypt to the present day. The original manuscripts of such letters grant the reader a direct connection with the person who actually wrote those personal words, sometimes many centuries ago. This charming book reproduces and transcribes in full 25 love letters with engaging commentaries about the correspondents and their circumstances, as well as portraits of the writers and recipients. It includes letters by figures such as Henry VIII, Charles Dickens, Charlotte Brontë, Horatio Lord Nelson, Oscar Wilde, and Mervyn Peake.
