A COLLECTIVE TURNING POINT - AND A PERSONAL ONE

We are in the midst of a system shift - fuelled by the perfect trio of the sustainability crisis, the AI disruption and the upheaval to our world order.

This is triggering a completely new level of uncertainty, unstable is becoming the new normal and it is meaning that more and more, we are facing the deep unknown.

This collective pivotal moment is here to snap us out of our everyday autopilot.  And jolt us back onto the right track - not just each one of us individually, but systemically.

It is setting up a choice. As humans, will we keep on the destructive march we are on. Or instead take this opportunity to start creating a new paradigm of genuine flourishing -  within ourselves, with each other and with the planet itself.

The future starts now.  It is not set - it is yet to be written.  

Yes, we are facing a reckoning.  But there is also hope - because this can also be the dawn of a new beginning.  One where we can choose to create a better future together.

WHAT IS YOURS TO DO NOW?

The future is being shaped as we speak.  

The current chaos is breaking down the rules of 'business as usual'.  

And we are all being called to a new adventure. The choice to either let yourself be shaped by the current forces or to be the ones who shape a new future.   

In essence, we are being thrown off the well-marked trail of our nicely ordered ways of doing things - even if we are still trying to pretend otherwise. And we now have to learn to navigate the uncharted, off-piste terrain of what we want to become next.

The truth is that the way we have all been travelling up until now - won’t get us to where we need to go next. As you don't navigate off-piste the same way you do on piste.

We are all being called - whether we like it or not and whether we are already in the for impact field or not - to travel this next chapter fundamentally differently. By relating - to ourselves, our work, and our leadership in a profoundly new way.

 FROM GOOD SOLDIER TO BRAVE BUILDER

There is no cavalry that is coming to save us.  We are the cavalry we are waiting for.  And this is not a drill.  This is a time of systemic transition.

Beyond the desire to have a positive impact, it means deciding to shape what comes next from your choices, creativity and courage. To take your own place in the system shift.  To play your unique part in this time of transition.  And to create the new world of tomorrow you want to see.

That is what it means to become a purpose-led leader who is a part of the 'transition team' that is now gathering.

To shift from being a good soldier of the old status quo - who sustains, maintains or plugs the gaps in the existing system.  To becoming instead a brave builder of the new future - who fundamentally evolves it by being truly, uniquely and fully yourself.
