I recently had a conversation with a good friend and colleague who truly understands my commitment to positively transforming Planet Earth for the benefit of all. We talked about the critical importance of hope, because without hope it's unlikely people will take any action to contribute to positive changes.
Although I prefer to be called KIMBERLY instead of KIM, one of my friends suggested this:
PEOPLE NEED K.I.M.
- Know the purpose
- In control
- Making progress
It's been clearly demonstrated that, when people can perceive their goal and their status and progress towards their goal, they contribute 60% more discretionary effort. Imagine running a race and being told "This is a long race, and just run as fast as you can." vs. running a 100 meter race where you can see the finish line and track your progress towards that finish line.
In which race would YOU run faster?
Now let's apply this to your life. Do you have a clear, vivid image of a fabulous future that you are absolutely committed to creating? Do you have some clear, tangible milestones that you can use to track your progress towards that amazing future? It might seem like you're being unrealistic to dream big. There are a couple of reasons for this:
1. Negative people appear to be smarter than positive people.
Smart people prefer and value complicated solutions over simple solutions, even when a simple approach could be more effective.
I have been facilitating a workshop called "Creating a Vision of Your Frickin' Fabulous Future" for the past 3 decades. In it we do a form of scenario planning, jump to the future we wish to create, do a "news report from the future", and capture that story and the associated emotions in a collage, which is sometimes called a "Treasure Map". I have many examples, from myself and other participants, of this leading to ACHIEVING these outcomes, which initially seemed ridiculously unrealistic.
Want to experience this for yourself, your friends, your community, your colleagues, your team? Reach out to me and let's do it! I prefer to do these workshops in person . . . AND . . . I have done it virtually many times.
DREAM BIG!!!
