Become the Conscious Futurist the World Needs Now: An Introduction to Conscious Futures - Charlotte Kemp - Bog

We are all natural futurists. But with a little attention, we can become better at anticipating and preparing for the future. And with a little more intention, we can become more conscious futurists. A conscious futurist makes decisions and influences the future for the benefit of more than their own small interests. A conscious futurist is someone who wants to make a positive change in society, create a sustainable development or leave a valuable legacy. The Conscious Futurist Model moves people from the bottom of a spiral from Survival, through Responsible and Invested stages to Conscious, and beyond. As a model it is useful to help teams see how much more influence they could have in the world and on the future, and see ways to start moving into that space. The results of becoming a Conscious Futurist are: To feel ownership or agency, over our futures, To understand how people have struggled with the events of the global pandemic as well as other crisis and how they can recover, andTo connect our own messages to peoples' expectations of their futures, giving them encouragement to explore their growth.
