“Work can be an exciting adventure if you empower yourself with greater influence”
The purpose of the Blueprint for an Exciting Adventure at Work is to help you to transform the way you look at the world, your world. It is not a linear process, but one that you jump around and keep coming back to. Each time you do, you’ll end up going deeper.
Once your course is set, then you have to develop the influence, and all of the work I have done in the last 15 years will come to your aid.
Here is how it all connects to the world of influence:
- As you develop your ideas on what you want, define clear influencing goals, use the stakeholder influence process and become more strategic in pursuit of your exciting adventure.
- Inevitably, handling today, and moving towards tomorrow means that you have to learn how to tackle the politics, and the varied interests of those in your arena.
- To reach your goals, you’ll need to become exceptionally good at creating amazing relationships with people who can help you.
- You will also need to be pretty active creating the right impression, building the right reputation, to flow swiftly to the place you want to be.
So, stay tuned, make use of the search facility on the website, and keep learning more about how to influence your world and your life, so it becomes what you want it to be.
As you know, I’ve been working through the Blueprint too, and discovered three things that will have a marked impact on how I support you next year:
- A huge amount of my time has been spent agonising over what problems and challenges you might be facing.
- Another great slug of time has been spent trying to figure out how best to help you with the problems I think I’ve imagined you may have.
- Hell, then I’ve been worrying so much about how best to engage you in this so I can help you.
Quite simply, I’ve decided to stop it and go for a walk instead – preferably in the mountains.
It’s silly really, I know the problems, inside out and back to front. I don’t know your particular version of the problems unless you’ve engaged with me in some way.
So, instead of wasting time on a fruitless activity, I’m just going to invest in sharing short, stimulating ideas in the belief that they will help in some way. And there is lots coming, because I got a new process that allows me to dictate while I walk!
Then, if you want to engage with me, I’ll be here, ready able and willing to support your exciting adventure.
Oh, one final thing, I’ve also “chosen” to believe that I haven’t even reached the halfway point in my career, so I’m going to around for a very long time!!
