We all have two stories. The first is the story of your life, in which you are the main character on an unpredictable journey through a complicated, confusing, and ever-changing world.

Once upon a time, being good at your job meant developing and using your expertise to complete a well understood set of tasks as part of a proven process to achieve a well-defined goal. Not anymore.

As a society we are scared to label and confront our fears. Instead, we put on a brave face, muddle through riddled with anxiety and die a little more inside each day.

Whose responsibility is it to empower our flourishing in the increasingly volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous world we live in today?

While it's daunting not knowing where the next pay cheque is coming from, it's rewarding to press pause, take stock and consider the future.

In personal development, feelings of uncertainty and frustration arise when our primary impulses to GROW and NOT DIE act in opposition, as friction between our desire to improve and the limiting stories that tether us to outdated beliefs.
