Prospering in the Unknown Future Business World (Whirled!)

Are you wondering how to surf the unknown future? Stay relevant? Out innovate your competitors? What do you do when a situation is completely new, when both the problem and the solution are unknown? What does your competitor do?

What does an unknown situation mean for your organization? Who you hire? How you plan? Is some part of your organization fearing the unknown and clinging to the known? If so, it will be hard to adapt and make progress. But your competitors are facing similar challenges.

If you can get really good at surfing the unknown, you've got a real advantage, and can even welcome change and the unknown. It will give you an on-going advantage.

As the world changes more rapidly, and we need to innovate faster, we all need to get comfortable surfing the unknown. It helps to get fluent at it for small stuff, so that you're ready when the stakes are high. It can be learned, it can be practiced. It can give your organization a long-term competitive advantage.




I can help you face the unknown, sort out options, and make progress. We can start big, or start small. Since the pace of change only increases, it's good to start.

While I do concentrated consulting on specific business challenges, I also offer longer-term coaching to help you prosper in the unknown future. It's more creative, reflective, subtle, and powerful. I listen deeply. Help you brainstorm possibilities, sort out options, and make progress. It's easy to try. No contract. Just tell me what's important to you. I'll listen, and help you move forward. If you're not satisfied, you don't pay, and we stop. Simple as that. My job is to keep providing you with value, even as what's important to you continues to morph and evolve.

Tell me what's most important to you now, and where you want to go. And if you're not sure, that's a great start...
