COURSE

Future Me: 30 Days to Reflect, Refine, and Reinvent Your Path with Foresight

Explore who you are, where you're going, and how to shape the life you want.

Overview

This 30-day challenge uses 20 futures-empowered daily prompts to help you shape your aspirational self and build effective habits that consider impacts to your future.

The prompts include a variety of reflective questions, activations, and goal setting. Not only will you build a robust plan for yourself, but you will also gain an understanding of the field of Strategic Foresight, a practical way to create functional views of alternative futures and possibilities.

Your Host will add additional context to the prompts with information from the Natural Foresight® Framework, an approach to Strategic Foresight that leverages the complex environment we are in to unlock a futurist mindset.

This type of experience is most effective when it is conducted collectively. To this end, you will engage with not only your Host but like-minded peers (Pod) to stretch the boundaries of what we believe is possible through a dedicated discussion group and meet ups.

The lessons follow the Natural Foresight® Framework:

Discover: Recognize personal biases and assumptions that may limit your perspective on future opportunities.
Explore: Look outside-in to radar and identify trends and emerging issues that will impact us.
Map: Develop scenarios, or stories, that explore probable, provocative, and preferred futures.
Create: Integrate foresight into your decision-making processes and actions to create a more future-proof and resilient approach to life.
