Whose Idea of the Future Are YOU Creating?

The Nu Futurist Podcast - A podcast by Jared Nichols

Categories:

“Whose idea of the future are you creating?” This is usually the first question I ask when I start working with someone. Because the truth is most people are living by someone else’s idea of the future.This the fundamental problem with our relationship to the future: we allow someone else to set the parameters for the kind of future we create.As a futurist, I’ve come to realize that my most important job isn’t helping people PREPARE for the future, it’s helping them CREATE it.That means HOW they’re thinking about the future, the ideas they’re challenging, the questions they’re asking, the alternatives they’re imagining are more important than any prediction or forecast I could give them.If you’re struggling to create a powerful vision for the future of your organization: Check out The Foresight Academy's Certificate Program in partnership with The University of Tennessee, and create a vision that inspires your team to action!_______________________________________________________________________________Additional Resources:Get a Free Copy of my Book! Learn the top 3 skills that will equip you to create the future on YOUR terms.
