Description
Taking the time to know ourselves at a deeper level, improves confidence, health, interactions with others, supports ethical and entrepreneurial decisions, and provides the capacity to learn new skills, connect with others at a deeper level, thereby supporting co-creation for the future.
More young adults have recently mentioned to me that they do not feel they fit in. Everyone feels that way at certain times. There are businesses, corporate identities, and other groups that may set a framework that encourages you to “fit it.”
As a unique spirit, you are not supposed to “fit it,” to conform, to give up your unique talents, qualities, experiences, and perspectives because you are the new person in the group. This presentation plants a few key seeds for consideration.
Beginning with my own youth story to set the stage, I explore the importance of digging deep into your talents and developing your own brand so you are better equipped to connect with others and co-create a new future. We should not defined by our work. Algorithms in everyday life and social media collect data to determine who we are and what our interests are for consumer activities. Shouldn’t we take the time to know ourselves. A research note regarding algorithms is provided which references three identities in social media: agnostics, influenced, and evangelists (Cordasco, 2017).
The world is fractured, as broken glass on the floor in shards. The world has changed dramatically and will continue to do so. Innovation and creativity help to solve new problems, if we find co-creators that can work together. The world is changing faster and the ability to transform requires new ways of thinking and comfort with change.
In order to develop tools to connect and co-create with others for the future, the research in community work is provided from the Center for Communities of the Future (www.communitiesofthefuture.org) There are four stages to transformation. The time I spent studying these concepts with the Center for Communities of the Future has helped me in every endeavor and in my studies. It is a new skill set for a rapidly changing world. It goes hand in hand with understanding who you are as an individual and finding your connections for the future.
The four stages of transformation are a) resistance, b) hmmm?, c) aha! and d) of course. There is no way to short-cut the process of individual, organizational and community transformation, although “master capacity builders” understand how to create parallel processes, futures projects and interlocking networks that will speed up the process. http://communitiesofthefuture.org/faq/
Stress affects health, and a study is referenced which included the results of teaching mindfulness in the work environment (Baime, 2012). Learning how to respond to others and situations reduces stress, thereby improving capacity to work with others and improve health. Personal transformation skills in practice also creates new capacities for co-creating and relationships, thereby reducing stress.
We are each one drop, yet together we are an ocean.
