Welcome back to another episode of "Stories Matter! Helping Leaders Transform Lives." In today's episode, entitled "Vision," we delve into the power of vision and the role it plays in creating positive change. Join hosts Gayle and Shelli as they discuss the importance of understanding our origin stories, crafting a vision for the future, and navigating the inevitable challenges that arise along the way. They explore the concept of "jumping the gun" and "putting the cart beforer the horse," cautioning against rushing into action without proper alignment and unity. Drawing insights from Dr. John Lewis's book "Story Thinking," they guide us through a cycle of automation, disruption, investigation, ideation, expectation, affirmation, and new routine. They shed light on our resistance to change and the fear of the unfamiliar, while also sharing personal anecdotes of reinvention and calculated risk-taking. Additionally, they emphasize the significance of enrolling others into our vision and the incremental storytelling required to bring the team together. So, buckle up and get ready to embark on a journey of transformation and growth in today's captivating episode of "Stories Matter!"
