Designing YourImpossible FutureWhy you need one and how to do it

Here is what a Predictable Future(PF) career goal looks like:

• Graduate from university andbecome an engineer;

• Get a promotion within two years,or get promoted two levels within fiveyears;

• Get a new job within one year, orbecome comfortable in my new jobwithin six months.

This type of goal is based onextending the present situationlogically into the future if all goes well.It focuses on the short to medium termand involves overcoming obstacles,learning and strengtheningprofessional competencies. The goalis clear and measurable. Attaining aPF will give you satisfaction and buildconfidence.

An Impossible Future (IF) goal looksmore like:

• Meet the needs of seriouswoodworkers and gardeners as oneof the leading mail-order and retailsuppliers of woodworking tools,gardening tools and cabinethardware (Leonard Lee, Lee Valley

Tools);

• Better Leaders. Better World(Leadership coach Robert Hargrove);

• A computer on every desk and inevery home (Bill Gates).

With an IF, you go beyond yourpersonal achievements to how youmight make a larger contribution toyour community and even the world. Itseeks to answer these questions. Whyare you doing this? What positivedifference can you make to others?An IF is emotionally compelling andself-energizing. It inspires you tochallenge yourself and go beyondyour own expectations. It speaks toyour deepest wish to accomplishsomething of value and give your lifemeaning.

At this point, I can hear you say, "ButI'm not Bill Gates or a multinationalcompany. This is not something thatapplies to me". My answer is thatevery life has value and meaning andevery person of whatever skill leveland experience has the ability toimagine a more positive and powerfulfuture for themselves if they try.

An Emerging New Paradigm

Changing the way we set personaland professional goals is based on anew paradigm called SocialConstructionism. In their book,Appreciative Coaching: a PositiveProcess for Change (p.23), Sara L.Orem, Jacqueline Binkert and Ann L.Clancy describe it this way:

"Instead of seeing an objective,predictable and controllable universe,scientists in the 21st century see avastly different world based on thefindings of quantum physics and thenew sciences of chaos theory, self-organizing systems and complexitytheory... Integral to socialconstructionism is the notion ofindividuals as active, independentand spontaneous beings who,consciously or not, form images of thefuture toward which they then grow."

Dr. David Cooperrider, FairmountMinerals Professor of SocialEntrepreneurship at Case WesternReserve University and founder of theAppreciative Inquiry approach, saysthat to a far greater extent than isnormally acknowledged, we humans

create our own realities throughsymbolic and mental processes. Everygoal has conscious and unconsciouslimits built-in by the person designingit. Many of these limits come frompeople's fears and negative thinkingrather than anything that could reallyhold them back. So "dreaming big"can be a way to push past those self-imposed limits.

Designing an Impossible Future is notwishful thinking. It is a new way to setgoals that reflects recent scientificfindings about human strength andresilience. It is founded on the ideathat your reality is yours to create. Youcan construct a small, safepredictable future or something moremeaningful and challenging. YourImpossible Future will most likely havea longer time frame and oneImpossible Future can lead to another.

8 Steps to Your ImpossibleFuture

1. Start by taking stock of yourcurrent reality, but with a twist.

Instead of focusing on what is wrongor missing, look for the best of what is

Leaders I coach understand the importance ofidentifying a solid career goal to give focus anddirection to their careers. It takes a stretch though tocreate an Impossible Future. This article outlines theconcept and value of an Impossible Future and gives youeight steps for designing one. Once you learn how to doit for yourself, you can do it for your organization.

What is an Impossible Future?

Robert Hargrove, in his book Masterful Coaching(pp.xiv-xvii), defines Impossible Future as an"extraordinary result...or transformational goal". It movesleaders beyond goals based on a predictable future ora little game -- beyond incremental change andcontinuous improvement -- to reinventing yourself toachieve more than you thought possible. Designing yourImpossible Future is about personal transformation. Itrequires imagination and an act of faith.

now. Identify your current strengths.Reflect on your career high points,positive experiences andaccomplishments. Find similarities,themes and lessons across yourpositive experiences. What isworking well for you? What do youwant to keep? Describe in detail yourpositive core.

2. Become an explorer into yourfuture.

With your positive attributes andstrengths in mind, imagine your idealfuture in broad strokes. Generateimages of possibilities. What wouldsomeone who respects and loves youwant for your future? How would youexpress your highest and best self? Ifthere were no obstacles, what couldyou accomplish that could make apositive difference for you and yourcommunity?

3. Paint a detailed picture

Now add plenty of detail to yourfuture. Define it clearly as if you arenow standing in your ImpossibleFuture. Use present tense language.What does it look like exactly?Where are you? Who is there? What

are they saying about you? What areyou doing? How are you feeling?Make it real in your mind. Remember,you are forming the image of yourfuture "toward which you will thengrow".

4. Pay attention to the language youuse.

Scientists today recognize that howwe use language creates our socialreality. Optimistic, possibility-generating language drives people totake action in a positive direction farmore than negative, critical,cautionary approaches. This does notmean you ignore obstacles. You justthink harder about how to overcomethem.

5. Declare your future to others.

It is important to give voice andintention to your future. You need totell people where you want to go andwhat difference you want to make. Ifpeople know where you are going,they just might help you.

6. Look for aspects of yourImpossible Future that you arealready living.

If you have a clear vision of whereyou want to go, your brain willunconsciously look for opportunities tomove toward that vision. Doors willopen that you did not see before. It islikely that you have already started onthe path toward your future. It will giveyou confidence if you are able tonotice what progress you are makingnow.

7. Develop a broad action plan butleave room for experimentation.

Turn your Impossible Future into aplan with stepping stones but look foropportunities to experiment. The focusis to expand your capabilities andlearn new things. This will meanlooking at your beliefs andassumptions, getting help from othersto see your blind spots, and tryingnew ways of tackling obstacles.

8. Stay flexible, persevere andcelebrate.

Impossible Futures, like Rome, werenot built in a day. Keep faith when thegoing gets tough and celebratesuccesses big and small. This will helpcalm your doubting self and yourinner critic.

Impossible Futures create momentumand excitement and can be lifechanging. The biggest hurdles youface are your own doubts and fears.You need to exercise your imaginationmuscle so that you can design yourbest possible future and then believein yourself enough to act boldly in thepresent to achieve it.

The origin of our word panicis derived from the Greek godPan. According to the Mer-riam-Webster New Book ofWord Histories, this lusty andmusically gifted god was alsoknown for giving great shoutsthat instilled fear into giantsas they battled the gods. Panwas worshipped in Athensbecause it was believed thathe instilled fear into thehearts of the Persians caus-ing them to flee the Battle ofMarathon. And that is wherewe get our word and idea ofpanic-any sudden andgroundless fear.
