First Reaction/ First Glance

Predicting the future has been tried by many, only to find out that change disrupts where the great minds envision where we are going and what we want to accomplish.

Many certainly have claimed stake in their future predictions and justifiably so, let’s explore further.

The Learning Process

You have heard many times in the past that you must plan with the end in mind and I couldn’t agree more. However planning and envisioning are two different leadership characteristics.

Suppose you close your eyes for a minute or so and ask this questions to your self about a current project or task you are working on. What will this look like to me and or to others when this is complete? Why are we doing this and how will this help us in the future?

Improving for the future

This is where you paint a picture of exactly how it will look, imagine the outcomes of your efforts, and assemble each of the tasks to create a sculpture of your vision.

I promise if you exercise your mind in different ways these visions will become reality, in fact I’m even more confident that they will exceed your expectations.

So get your dust rag out shine that crystal ball and look inside, there is some incredible things you will discover.
