What does the program cover?
Session 1 — Welcome to Futurism
Right now, we need future leaders more than we ever have. The future doesn’t just happen to us, we create it with the decisions that we make each day. In this session, you will begin to think about the future as a positive concept and imagine your work within that bright future.
Session 2 — Futurism, What is It?
Our futures are not predetermined. There are many possible outcomes, and the decisions we make on a daily basis matter. Session 2 helps you to unpack this idea. It will also develop your understanding of futurism and explain how you can use it to shape your ideal future.
Session 3 — Loving the Problem
The easiest place for us to get stuck is when we are loving the problem. This session helps you understand the common ways we can get stuck in loving the problem and new ways to approach our work so we kick our problem-loving habits.
