Looking towards the future

Yesterday was one of my more esoteric posts: “Musings on Time”. Perhaps serendipitously, no sooner had I posted it than I had a truly inspiring and energising initial conversation with a business leader who, in the time and space created during the lockdown, has:

  1. First, reviewed their decades of Past life and business experience;
  2. Second, from that, been as clear and objective as they can about where they and their business are in the Present;
  3. Third, look towards the Future.

Why, in particular, did that call feel inspiring and energising? Well, it is about where that leader is anchored to in terms of “time”.

Looking towards the future

Though this leader had taken much of the space afforded by the lockdown to review the past in some detail, by the time we spoke they were very much “in the present” and looking towards the future.

As a “recovering Chartered Accountant”, I’m very grounded in empirical and foundational historical and objective numbers and evidence when working with clients. From that place, I then am present to, with and for my clients and then love to support them in my preferred space, looking at opportunities for them and those they lead, looking into the future.
