time to brush up your vision?

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:

  • A clear destination. What does success look like? What will they see, hear, and feel then? We can reverse engineer steps and strategies from there.
  • A decision-making framework. When you know where you're going, it’s easier to filter opportunities, say no to distractions, and focus on what truly aligns with your goals.
  • More confidence and control – Knowing where you’re headed reduces doubt and fear, giving you a sense of control even when external factors are unpredictable.

How about you, Reader? If it's a good time to brush up your vision, download your free guide, Creating My Personal Vision, here (instantly, no opt-in needed).

In no time, you'll have a better sense of where you want YOUR future to go--and you can get in action to do the things that help you get there, faster. ⏩

Don't stay in the dark during confusing times--clarify your vision now, 'cause it's time to soar. Thanks for being here!

Always, Darcy
