Key Points

  • Creating a story from the future, rather than about the future, allows you to emotionally connect with your goals and envision them as already achieved.
  • During major transitions, balancing personal growth with professional success requires focusing on one change at a time and understanding your capacity for change.
  • Understanding the hero's journey framework helps individuals and organizations navigate change more effectively by recognizing and preparing for the common patterns and challenges they will face.
