How to Craft a Conscious Future

ABOUT

We are all natural futurists. But with a little attention, we can become better at anticipating and preparing for the future. And with a little more intention, we can become more conscious futurists.

A conscious futurist makes decisions and influences the future for the benefit of more than their own small interests. A conscious futurist is someone who wants to make a positive change, create a sustainable development or leave a valuable legacy.

Using a set of tools and models, anyone can become more confident about making better decisions for the future. It should not be a time of uncertainty and anxiety, but rather we should look to the future as something co-created and full of potential and realised plans.

The Conscious Futurist model moves people from the bottom of a spiral from Survival, through Responsible and Invested stages to Conscious, and beyond. As a model it is useful to help teams see how much more influence they could have in the world and on the future, and see ways to start moving into that space.

In this 3 hour workshop we will:

• Demonstrate the real value of having a Conscious approach to life, career and work
• Explore the 5 stages of being a Conscious Futurist
• Examine the role of Conscious Futurists in driving change (Trends, Change Management)
• Envisioning future possibilities as we move through the spiral (Scenario Planning)
• Identify values and ethical approaches to the future and their relevance on our life, career and work 
• Consider practical ways to demonstrate conscious consideration of the future 
• Craft action plans for integrating conscious futures principles into daily life and decision-making (Describe the Future, Visioning)

Understanding this model allows us

• To feel ownership or agency over our futures
• To understand where others are on the spiral
• To connect our values and goals to a consciously designed future
• To engage with people, work or projects that align with our values and priorities 

This workshop will help you develop:

• Your critical thinking skills
• Insight into your values and purpose
• Your collaborative and inter-personal skills
• Your leadership insights
• Your professional development skills
• Your futures literacy
