You too are 'an influencer'
Getting better at influencing futures is an important life skill to master.
No, not that kind of 'influencer'.
But rather an 'influencer of the future'.
The way futures unfold is not controllable, but we all have some degree of influence, or sway, over futures.
We are able to steer the direction of our lives and businesses in a general direction, which holds more meaning to us (even if sometimes it might feel like it's not up to us); nudging outcomes towards the future that we prefer.
Do we have predictable control over the future? No.
Does anyone have predictable control over the future? No.
But we do have influence, and that makes the practice of getting better at influencing futures an important life skill to master.
