from the Map to the Terrain
with DAVE SCHOOF
Going back to normal is not an option.
We are in a new paradigm, a new world.
You already know this deep in your bones. You know the unease.
But you are not quite sure what to do.
You know that the previous ways of dealing with complexity, VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity + ambiguity), white water, etc, are not enough.
They may not even be relevant.
As a Lifelong Explorer-
You have hit a wall with your self-development and are unsure what to do next.
As a Leader-
You are knocked awake at 3 am, wondering what’s next for you
As a Coach or Therapist-
There is an unease that sits on your shoulders where you aren’t really sure what you need for yourself and for your clients to be more resourced and resilient.
This new world, this new paradigm, is still forming.
Much like new islands appearing from volcanic eruptions in the sea. We see new lands, but it's all still forming. And there are challenges. There are critical crossroads and some tricky navigating to do as old systems crash.
How do we navigate with outdated maps? What new understanding, capacities, and skills will we need? What wisdom, experience, and skillsets do we need to retain? How do we orient? What is my new North Star?
How do we continue to develop, evolve, heal, and transform amid this ever-shifting, unsettled new paradigm? How do we find delight, joy, satisfaction, happiness, and fulfillment when almost nothing seems certain or predictable?
There are ways...
I can help.
⏶ What will be released?
⏶ We may need to leave some things behind.
⏶ We may need to put down some belief systems and frames.
How We:
⏶ Do more than survive but actually thrive?
⏶ Experience happiness and joy?
⏶ Harness the energy of desire?
-
How do we shift our perspective?
-
How do we combine what we know and experience with what we don't yet know and need to emerge?
-
What do we use for a map or GPS to know where we are and where we are going?
-
And how do we thrive?
What would it be like if you were able to have both?
⏶ Both professional success AND a whole and satisfying family life.
⏶ Both financial security AND do what you desire in life.
⏶ Both fully engage in your spiritual or self-development path AND stay connected as yourself with those whom you care about.
The PIVOT is a shift in our lives that allows us to be less bound to our past experiences, habits, and ways of figuring the world out. We still carry with us our wisdom, skills, and sense of ourselves, but we also make room for new ways of seeing, doing, navigating, and checking.
Before, you may have been caught in "either/or" situations calling for a sacrifice of one thing or the other:
⏶ I can either continue to climb my ladder of success to excel - OR - I can have a family life.
⏶ I either stay in the job/organization and bid my time to retirement even if it means I am not excited and I check part of myself at the door - OR - I leave and start my new life on my terms but I will not be financially secure.
⏶ I can either continue to evolve and follow my spiritual path - OR - dampen it down so I can stay connected with my partner, family and friends.
