EXPLORING YOUR PERSONAL FUTURE

If you are keen to explore other resources for envisioning & crafting your personal future, the Personal Futures Network is a good place to start. It is owned & run by futurist Dr Verne Wheelwright.

As a matter of fact, you can go to his website to download a free copy of his 'Personal Futures Workbook'.

Alternatively, you can also wait for his new book, 'It's Your Future...Make It a Good One!', which is scheduled to be released in the stores around September or maybe later.

THE 9 I's OF CREATING YOUR FUTURE

Most people spend more time planning their next vacation than they do planning the rest of their lives.

Yet one of the most powerful paths to creating the future you want is choosing it.

You achieve this by setting out long-term/medium-term/short-term goals based on a compelling personal vision.

Dilip Mukerjea has synthesised a powerful visual planning methodology, which he calls "lifescaping", to show you the entire process of committing to creating, creating a vision, constructing a plan, executing the plan, celebrating your journey, & continue creating your future.

If necessary, he will be most happy to design a one-to-one coaching program with "lifescaping" for you.

Interested readers can write to him at dilipmukerjea@gmail.com for more information about coaching fees & scheduling.

For your information, "lifescaping" synergises all the 9 I's.

For corporations, he has a more enhanced version, which he calls "Strategic Visioning with Lifescaping". It's currently available among the suite of corporate training programs from the Singapore Institute of Management. Here's the link, from which you can download a brochure as well as a registration form.

Nonetheless, Dilip also welcomes requests for any on-site or off-site custom-engineering to suit clients' particular requirements.

PERSONAL FUTURES WORKBOOK: A GUIDE TO PERSONAL STRATEGIC PLANNING

In an earlier post of my 'Optimum Performance Technologies' weblog, I have talked briefly about the research work of futurist Verne Wheelwright.

Verne Wheelwright is a different kind of futurist. Most futurists focus on the big picture; the future of the world, the future of society or an institution, but he is a “micro-futurist”, focusing on personal & individual futures, one person at a time.

He has written the 'Personal Futures Workbook' to guide individuals through the futuring process. Tactically, it's a guide to personal strategic planning.

The newest version of the workbook is digital (PDF) & can be completed & saved on a computer.

Here's the weblink where you can download a free copy of the workbook.

More information about the author & his consulting work on Personal Futures can be found at his corporate website or at his personal weblog.
