Following up on last week’s episode about narrative foresight! The stories we tell ourselves and implicitly believe about work have huge implications on our day-to-day experience at work and our overall life satisfaction.
Narrative foresight is the practice of choosing which stories you use to make sense of your past, present, and future to lead to better outcomes.In this episode, I’m teaching about two specific types of stories that tend to hold people back. “Disowned futures” and “used futures” stories are the most common types of thought patterns that hinder people’s ability to practice narrative foresight.
Disowned Future StoriesA disowned future story is what happens when we disregard ourselves as full, integrated people. Instead of envisioning a future that allows us to thrive, a disowned future envisions a future based on a specific part, skill, or achievement at which we excel. When we focus too much on how we can capitalize on our assets, we disown our true selves and the deeper desires that may exist.
Used Future StoriesUsed future stories refer to outdated stories and assumptions. Or, making decisions based on stories that seem solid now, but are bound to change in the future for economic, ecological, technological, demographic or cultural reasons.
