Part 1 of Pillar 1 OPPORTUNITY NARRATIVES: Three 2-hour Online Sessions
The journey begins by discovering how fear holds us back. Exploring our Personal Narratives becomes the catalyst for this.
Part 1 of the Opportunity Narratives Series helps us uncover our internal messaging. Do we view the future as primarily threat or opportunity?
When ponder our aspirations, what do we tend to tell ourselves? Is our internal messaging empowering, or does it hold us back from taking action?
In this engaging and interactive 3-day online program, John Hagel will walk us through his proven concepts and exercises to help reveal internal narratives we may not have recognized before. Through discussion, small-group exercises and individual work, we will gain new understanding for the narratives shaping our lives.

Part 2 of Pillar 1 OPPORTUNITY NARRATIVES: Three 2-hour Online Sessions
After gaining new understanding about the internal narratives that shape our lives in Part 1 of the Opportunity Narratives Series, Part 2 introduces the tools for actively evolving our Personal Narratives.
How do we wish to shape the messaging in our minds about our agency and possible futures? What is our call to action to others for addressing our desired future? Institutional, geographical and movement narratives can also be powerful catalysts to help us evolve our emotions and empower our actions that follow.
John Hagel will introduce proven tools and exercises in this engaging online program. Through discussion, small-group exercises and individual work, we will learn new methods for evolving the inner narratives that shape our lives.

Pillar 2 PASSION OF THE EXPLORER: Three 2-Hour Online Sessions
The second stage of the journey following Personal Narratives, uncovers the Passion of the Explorer that is within all of us. This very specific form of passion becomes the fuel that generates deep excitement about opportunities in the future.
This engaging program with John Hagel helps draw out what activities and topics fuel our energy and focus for taking action toward concrete impact in our lives, work and communities. This form of passion also makes us excited about addressing unexpected challenges and reaching out to others for help in addressing these challenges.
Research into domains marked by sustained extreme performance improvement indicates where this passion is present. It generates excitement about the opportunity to have increasing impact in the specific activity that matters to us.
