Narrative is the foundational pattern to success. A good story gets the most engagement. Narrative carries the momentum of existence in it and drives things forward and brings all of the elements into alignment. All of the characters play their roles in ways that only they can because a thing can only be what it is, and that's why we call it character. Narrative captures the essence of perspective, and let's us see the big picture and the small picture through characters.
Good narrative means someone cared and put time and effort and attention into the characters and the details, and they're invested in the outcomes. Success, failure, adversity, beginnings, endings, they're all stories because they contain powerful data that we can collect and use to make adjustments to our own narrative.
I put the tools into your hands and the knowledge to use them.
Whether it's survival, cybersecurity, self defense, data analysis, poetry, cooking, trying to get a promotion, create high performance teams, or any number of things I have listed on my page. It's all just a means to an end, to be Ready For Anything.
You have to leverage natural existing systems using modern tools and information.
One of the things I teach and implement are internal auditing systems. Gathering internal and external data and using narrative to identify characters measure performance, and create environments that produce good stories.
What's the story you tell yourself? What story does your organization tell? Are you always winning? Always trying to do your best? Are you meeting and exceeding the expectations for the role you are playing and are you ready for that role to change at any moment? Are you aware of the larger narrative you exist in? Do the culture and history permeate the environment? What kind of team are you on? What kind of team are you leading and what stories will they tell about you?
Confidence is a product of awareness. The information you have about yourself and your environment helps you create a better internal model of those elements and make more informed decisions, formulating systems that can survive and adapt.
The battlefield is changing quickly, the landscape is shifting and survival means the same thing it always has. Being Ready For Anything.
