Book Excerpt 7 - Energy

A good metaphor for VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity) is flying an airplane through a thunderstorm. Similar to VUCA, a storm is charged with negative energy. This makes it difficult to navigate, unless you have learned how to harness your own energy as a superpower.

Our challenge is to focus, and channel all our positive energy to

address what needs to be tackled in our lives, instead of converting it into negative energy and allowing it to be depleted by the unknowns of the storm. One way to do this is to have a great reserve of positive energy that will counter a potential drain when facing a VUCA storm.

If you want to learn more practical tips for dealing with VUCA, read our book, Mindset Wizardry - the Magic Behind Thriving in a Volatile, Uncertain, Complex & Ambiguous (VUCA) World available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Kobo.
