Milwaukee-based futurist, Dave Zach, is featured this month on Donna Karlin's "Jumping into the Deep End of Leadership" blog on FastCompany.com.

A great speaker, Zach is "one of the few professionally trained futurists on this planet," according to his biography.

I know Dave, and have for years. I always give him credit when I use his idea to not think outside of the box, rather "‘into other boxes" in meetings and conversations. It's a creative way to gain insight and collaboration, and Karlin talks about it in her blog.

Congrats, Dave, on your continued success.
