Daniel Pink has carved an eclectic and successful career as a Yale law school graduate (and licensed non-practicing attorney), former White House staffer, Fortune 100 company consultant, and the New York Times bestselling author of A Whole New Mind, Free Agent Nation, and the “manga” career guide, The Adventures of Johnny Bunko: The Last Career Guide You’ll Ever Need. Here he discusses how best to present yourself as a free agent to prospective clients.
Just as we were getting used to the information age, Daniel Pink tells us that it is ending. With it goes our focus on charts, statistics, and linear thinking.

The valued skills of the 21st century will be those of the right brain: empathy, design, synthesis, and contextual thinking.
