Intentional Futures’ Post

I am the expert of my intention - you are the expert of my impact. A few quick tips from Ciaran to align your intention and impact.

Humanity is headed towards a future by default. Instead, we can build a future by design if we can make deliberate, thoughtful decisions. But for that, we need insights. And insights are held by the people on the ground. Through Jan Ki Baat, you can listen to all of them at once. Sign up for Jan ki Baat's first cohort here: https://lnkd.in/dU-_qHD8

In the realm of social media, one post can make you appear invincible, but in real life, a single conversation can reveal everything. What many don't realize is that each generation has its heroes, but as the next generation emerges, those heroes become the new challenge to surpass, not in a negative way, but as a benchmark to exceed. There are always, the new comers … And what I'm noticing is that these generational transitions are becoming increasingly shorter. I was once someone who saw my “ mentors “ as inspiration to become after year 9 I realized now tables are turned and now year 15 I’m realizing now the conversations aren’t about “ Who’s First “ how do we excel beyond that Theory or Concept. When you’re navigating “ Pioneering “ a new industry, methodology, terminology, theology and societal context of an online and offline world. You have to sit back and think, 4 billion users how do we create something that streamlined and sustainable. #SocialMediaFirstAid & #SocialMediaHarmReduction 🔐 …. #ThinkingInTheThirdPersona #TripleConsciousTheory #Legacy #IndustryBuilding #Foundation

As humans, our quest for meaning intertwines with our innate desire for social connection. It’s in the moments where we uplift others, bring joy, or lend a helping hand that we truly find purpose. Research unveils the profound link between our pursuit of meaning and the bonds we forge with one another, lighting the way to a more fulfilling existence. #authenticityinedu #tlapdownunder #inspirationinfluenceimpact #connectedleadership

Nate Hagens and I have sat across from each other in the classroom as professor and student, in the kitchen as friends, in the office as colleagues, but today: we sat together as podcaster and guest for The Great Simplifcation show. https://lnkd.in/gRH-k6sZ I'm grateful to have met James and Natasha during this Reality Roundtable, plus Nate for continuing to hold space and dialogue on the intersections of #energy, #food, #politics, #psychology, #economics, #ecology, and more!

✨ Hope is a Catalyst for Change – But Only When We Redefine It! How often do we hear or say phrases like, "I hope it will work out" or "I hope things get better for you"? The way we use hope in everyday conversation often feels passive, even uncertain. But true hope is so much more. It’s not a wish or a sense of optimism—it’s a powerful force for change. At the amazing Global WIN Conference (#WINConference - #WIN Women - thank you amazing Kristin Engvig) in Rome last week, I was reminded of this truth. The event didn’t just give me hope in the fleeting sense of “maybe things will get better.” It gave me hope in a real, tangible way. It reinforced my belief that we—as individuals, businesses, and societies—have the strength to move in the right direction. We just need to harness hope as the muscle to keep us resilient on the path to our vision, no matter the setbacks. And this is the exact reason I founded the concept and movement "Path of Hope". Because hope is a skill you can train. It’s about resilience, staying committed to your mission even when things get tough. During the conference, I had a deep conversation with the fantastic Mynoo Maryel Mynoo Maryel, who shared a profound insight: for hope to truly be a catalyst, we must start by confronting reality. We need to be honest about where we are right now, and from there, use hope to drive real steps toward the future we envision. That´s why my company are passionate about helping individuals, teams, and communities cultivate this kind of hope—the kind that empowers real change.

I am excited to share that I was invited to be moderated by Randall Zindler in Part 2 of ‼️Intergenerational Connection: Crafting our Shared Tomorrow on the topic of My Role in Society. The Intergenerational Connection Series aims to create a platform where individuals from different generations and positions can come together, share their perspectives, and work towards a shared future. Whether it's within families, family businesses, companies, or society as a whole, this series provides a safe and open space for honest and meaningful conversations. We explore personal questions, address misunderstandings, and strive to bridge the gap in understanding. Date: 02 May 2024 Time: 4am EST ( mostly for those outside of the USA ) or 10am EST Some questions to spark your curiosity: 💡 Does one's responsibility change over one’s lifespan ? 💡 How do I understand others' desires and life's meaning ? 💡 Do I think my purpose in life is influenced by my position in society ? 💡 How do I think others, from a different generation, see their role ?
