Ken Weigel is all about strategy. He is a strategy consultant and the Strategic Advisor at The Contingent. He works in the Strategic Advancement department of The Bible Project. He joins Jared Siegel to talk about the importance of perspective in planning.
Here are a few insights from their conversation:
“Often it isn’t the mountains ahead that wear us out, it’s the little pebble in our shoes,” Jared quotes. Perspective is important; something that may seem small today may have the potential to be a disaster in the future.
People dislike the idea of life planning because it requires them to stop doing what they’re doing, which they feel they cannot do because their work is significant.
When you know yourself inside out, you acquire a self-awareness that allows you to have greater clarity for what opportunities are right for you. This clarity helps you make better decisions.
A well-updated dashboard gives you the tools to develop self-awareness and allow it to be disclosed in appropriate places for the appropriate people in your life.
Jared talks about the Thinking Wavelength, a tool that gives insights into one’s thought processes and patterns. He shares how it has helped him and his team.
“To be able to have a moment of clarity is to say what’s true about the current moment. We don’t want to only focus on what’s good or bad, but we do want to address the things that are confusing,” Jared says.
