Happy Holiday Season!
Future Cast Your Long Term Success
Everyone wants long term success. But it is elusive for most. Long term success is dependent on knowing where you are now and where you are headed. Then closing the gap. Frequently. Continuously. Whether it’s your business, your career or your life at home., it’s easy to get off track, lose touch or get buried […]
No One Wins the Waiting Game
Many of us are waiting. We’re playing it safe, not taking any risks, putting off our next big steps, the transformations we long to make in our lives and work, until the winds of global economic change die down. We’ve locked the doors, boarded up the windows, and headed down into the basement. But the […]
Humanility
Another quality of the visionary, along with presence, truth telling, discernment, wisdom, etc., is a combination of empathy and humility that I call humanility. Being humble is to be free from false pride and arrogance. It does not mean lacking confidence or being falsely self-deprecating, for it rests on a clear sense of the truth […]
Rescuing Gaia
For years, at World Future Society meetings and elsewhere, NASA scientists and other climate experts have been urging professional futurists to heed the call to action: Our climate is changing at an unnatural, accelerated pace that if unchecked will have disastrous consequences.

When we look at women’s power in the workforce, whether running their own businesses or working as executives or on boards in the corporate world and academia, we can view the situation as negative or positive depending on our focus. Obviously, women are still underpaid and vastly underrepresented in positions of power, although this is […]
Presence and Invisibility
The phenomenon of growing increasingly invisible as we age, and using that invisibility to empower us and others to be change agents, is related deeply with the visionary attribute I discussed in “Unwrapping Your Presence” and “Stop, Look, and Listen”. The invisible power to fly under the radar and quietly lead change, which I talk […]
Hotter Times Ahead
For me the letting go has been bittersweet this midsummer. One of my most loved and revered mentors, Marion Woodman, has passed on after several years in the throes of dementia. If you have not heard of her, it’s high time you did. Marion was one of the western-world’s most impactful wisdom keepers in feminine psychology and addiction…she […]
