REWIRING for what's next

NextFuture's vision is to help accomplished individuals leverage one of their biggest assets...crystallized intelligence.


Fluid intelligence is the ability to think logically and solve new problems.


Crystallized intelligence is the ability to use learned knowledge, wisdom,

mentoring skills and repurpose decades of experience.

If you are experiencing decline in fluid intelligence – and if you are my age, you are – it doesn’t mean you are washed up. It means it is time to jump off the fluid intelligence curve and onto the  crystallized intelligence curve. Those who fight against time are trying to bend the old curve instead of getting onto the new one. But it is almost impossible to bend, which is why people are so frustrated, and usually unsuccessful.”
