I love my fantasies

Whether you are a leader in your company, a leader in your home, or a leader in your community, you need clear vision. You need to be able to see what you are trying to build - to actualize. You need a way to set priorities. You need to have a point. No one will follow you without these elements in place. They may take your money, but they won’t follow you.

Vision
Priorities
Reason

These aren’t easy to maintain year after year without evolution, transformation, and deep reflection. I invest in vision quests.

Vision quests help me know what is important to me now in work, home, and community. I don’t need to know the answers forever, but I have to believe in what I’m doing this year in order to take action.

I like to choose themes.

Last year was ‘Comprehensive Thinking’. I thought, what would it be like if I said yes to anything that struck my fancy and trusted that it would somehow all feed each other? I said yes to a broad range of opportunities that I am fulfilling now. I rented out a sculptures, am giving a keynote at a neuroscience conference, went on tour, taught embodiment movement workshops in Joshua Tree and Paris, am about to lead a circus intensive in Canada, am applying for art grants, shot a motions sculpture dance film, have been guiding one on one creative leadership retreats in nature, supporting couples in thriving in long-term relationship, and am writing an article for a online psychedelic publication.

I have been super into this comprehensive thinking approach, but at times, I feel like my brain is being smeared across the canvas.

This coming year, the theme is ‘Simplify’. I want to focus in on Creative Journeys for Leaders and Teams, my kids, my friends (primary partner included!), and sell my motion sculpture, Cross-Pollination. I would like to make multiples.

I love my fantasies.

What is your theme this year? Do you need a vision quest?
