So Reader, if wishes came true and our crystal balls worked, we'd all be able to see the future. 🔮 But the crystals are cloudy. Let's face it. We're typically as good at futurecasting as we are walking in a straight line while texting. 🛑 Don't believe me? Before the world shut down mid-March 2020, would you have predicted we'd be wearing masks, hoarding toilet paper and working from home? Okay, maybe a few of you would. But most of us? Naw. It's a dilemma many of my coaching clients are wrestling with in their careers and organizations right now: How do we plan for a future we cannot predict? My suggestion is to . . . stop trying. Do this instead. Invest the time to get clear on your long-term vision: the future you WANT to happen for you. I take each of my clients through an initial vision exercise at the start of our coaching engagement. It gives them:

I'm not a robot, Reader . . . Nope, I'm a real person, really writing this note to you. And in case you're wondering: As the world of artificial intelligence (AI) gets more intelligent and less artificial, Iet me promise you one thing: notes you get from me will always be written by ME. (Me being Darcy, not ME being some new bot, app, or digital helper.) That said, I'm absolutely integrating AI tools into my business and day-to-day life, and I encourage you to do the same. So if it's helpful...
The other day, a coaching client of mine who holds a high-profile job told me about a colleague who criticized her in front of an important group of stakeholders. It's not the first time this has happened. But each time it does, her brain flames up with thoughts like: I'm weak and should be able to stand up for myself I'm an imposter and need to work harder I hate that person and I kind of hate myself more for feeling this way Most people would tackle the problem this way: planning their...
