Designing Your Impossible Future Why you need one and how to do it Leaders I coach understand the importance of identifying a solid career goal to give focus and direction to their careers. It takes a stretch though to create an Impossible Future. This article outlines the concept and value of an Impossible Future and gives you eight steps for designing one. Once you learn how to do it for yourself, you can do it for your organization.
Here is what a Predictable Future (PF) career goal looks like: • Graduate from university and become an engineer; • Get a promotion within two years, or get promoted two levels within five years; • Get a new job within one year, or become comfortable in my new job within six months. This type of goal is based on extending the present situation logically into the future if all goes well. It focuses on the short to medium term and involves overcoming obstacles, learning and strengthening professional competencies. The goal is clear and measurable. Attaining a PF will give you satisfaction and build confidence. An Impossible Future (IF) goal looks more like: • Meet the needs of serious woodworkers and gardeners as one of the leading mail-order and retail suppliers of woodworking tools, gardening tools and cabinet hardware (Leonard Lee, Lee Valley
What is an Impossible Future? Robert Hargrove, in his book Masterful Coaching (pp.xiv-xvii), defines Impossible Future as an "extraordinary result...or transformational goal". It moves leaders beyond goals based on a predictable future or a little game -- beyond incremental change and continuous improvement -- to reinventing yourself to achieve more than you thought possible. Designing your Impossible Future is about personal transformation. It requires imagination and an act of faith.
Tools);
An Emerging New Paradigm
• Better Leaders. Better World (Leadership coach Robert Hargrove);
Changing the way we set personal and professional goals is based on a new paradigm called Social Constructionism. In their book, Appreciative Coaching: a Positive Process for Change (p.23), Sara L. Orem, Jacqueline Binkert and Ann L. Clancy describe it this way:
• A computer on every desk and in every home (Bill Gates). With an IF, you go beyond your personal achievements to how you might make a larger contribution to your community and even the world. It seeks to answer these questions. Why are you doing this? What positive difference can you make to others? An IF is emotionally compelling and self-energizing. It inspires you to challenge yourself and go beyond your own expectations. It speaks to your deepest wish to accomplish something of value and give your life meaning. At this point, I can hear you say, "But I'm not Bill Gates or a multinational company. This is not something that applies to me". My answer is that every life has value and meaning and every person of whatever skill level and experience has the ability to imagine a more positive and powerful future for themselves if they try.
"Instead of seeing an objective, predictable and controllable universe, scientists in the 21st century see a vastly different world based on the findings of quantum physics and the new sciences of chaos theory, selforganizing systems and complexity theory... Integral to social constructionism is the notion of individuals as active, independent and spontaneous beings who, consciously or not, form images of the future toward which they then grow." Dr. David Cooperrider, Fairmount Minerals Professor of Social Entrepreneurship at Case Western Reserve University and founder of the Appreciative Inquiry approach, says that to a far greater extent than is normally acknowledged, we humans
create our own realities through symbolic and mental processes. Every goal has conscious and unconscious limits built-in by the person designing it. Many of these limits come from people's fears and negative thinking rather than anything that could really hold them back. So "dreaming big" can be a way to push past those selfimposed limits. Designing an Impossible Future is not wishful thinking. It is a new way to set goals that reflects recent scientific findings about human strength and resilience. It is founded on the idea that your reality is yours to create. You can construct a small, safe predictable future or something more meaningful and challenging. Your Impossible Future will most likely have a longer time frame and one Impossible Future can lead to another. 8 Steps to Your Impossible Future 1. Start by taking stock of your current reality, but with a twist. Instead of focusing on what is wrong or missing, look for the best of what is

The origin of our word panic is derived from the Greek god Pan. According to the Merriam-Webster New Book of Word Histories, this lusty and musically gifted god was also known for giving great shouts that instilled fear into giants as they battled the gods. Pan was worshipped in Athens because it was believed that he instilled fear into the hearts of the Persians causing them to flee the Battle of Marathon. And that is where we get our word and idea of panic-any sudden and groundless fear.
Continued from page 4 now. Identify your current strengths. Reflect on your career high points, positive experiences and accomplishments. Find similarities, themes and lessons across your positive experiences. What is working well for you? What do you want to keep? Describe in detail your positive core. 2. Become an explorer into your future. With your positive attributes and strengths in mind, imagine your ideal future in broad strokes. Generate images of possibilities. What would someone who respects and loves you want for your future? How would you express your highest and best self? If there were no obstacles, what could you accomplish that could make a positive difference for you and your community? 3. Paint a detailed picture Now add plenty of detail to your future. Define it clearly as if you are now standing in your Impossible Future. Use present tense language. What does it look like exactly? Where are you? Who is there? What
are they saying about you? What are you doing? How are you feeling? Make it real in your mind. Remember, you are forming the image of your future "toward which you will then grow". 4. Pay attention to the language you use. Scientists today recognize that how we use language creates our social reality. Optimistic, possibilitygenerating language drives people to take action in a positive direction far more than negative, critical, cautionary approaches. This does not mean you ignore obstacles. You just think harder about how to overcome them. 5. Declare your future to others. It is important to give voice and intention to your future. You need to tell people where you want to go and what difference you want to make. If people know where you are going, they just might help you. 6. Look for aspects of your Impossible Future that you are already living.
If you have a clear vision of where you want to go, your brain will unconsciously look for opportunities to move toward that vision. Doors will open that you did not see before. It is likely that you have already started on the path toward your future. It will give you confidence if you are able to notice what progress you are making now.
Impossible Futures create momentum and excitement and can be life changing. The biggest hurdles you face are your own doubts and fears. You need to exercise your imagination muscle so that you can design your best possible future and then believe in yourself enough to act boldly in the present to achieve it.
7. Develop a broad action plan but leave room for experimentation. Turn your Impossible Future into a plan with stepping stones but look for opportunities to experiment. The focus is to expand your capabilities and learn new things. This will mean looking at your beliefs and assumptions, getting help from others to see your blind spots, and trying new ways of tackling obstacles. 8. Stay flexible, persevere and celebrate. Impossible Futures, like Rome, were not built in a day. Keep faith when the going gets tough and celebrate successes big and small. This will help calm your doubting self and your inner critic.

Maine Unemployment Rate 7.2 Percent in March AUGUSTA – State Labor Commissioner Robert Winglass released March workforce estimates for Maine. Seasonally-Adjusted Statewide Data Household Survey - The preliminary seasonally-adjusted unemployment rate for Maine was 7.2 percent in March, little changed from 7.1 percent in February and down from 7.8 percent one year ago. The number of unemployed totaled 51,300, down 3,300 from a year ago. The 0.2 percentage point rise in the unemployment rate since January is primarily due to more than 1,200 entering the labor force, as employment was little changed. The U.S. unemployment rate was 8.2 percent, little changed from 8.3 percent in February and down from and 8.9 percent one year ago. The New England average was 7.0 percent; rates in other New England states were 5.2 percent in New Hampshire, 4.8 percent in Vermont, 6.5 percent in Massachusetts, 11.1 percent in Rhode Island, and 7.7 percent in Connecticut. Payroll Survey of Businesses – Estimates from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics indicate there were 595,000 nonfarm payroll jobs in March, down 2,700 from the revised February estimate. The decline follows an unusually large upward trend in January and February − the reversal in March was expected. U.S. nonfarm payroll jobs were up 120,000 in March. As the nearby chart indicates,
7
monthly nonfarm payroll jobs estimates continue to be more volatile than the lagging, complete count of wage and salary jobs collected through quarterly unemployment insurance tax filings of employers. Data through June 2011 has been benchmarked to the complete count; estimates after June 2011 are likely to be much smoother after they are benchmark revised in March 2013. Not Seasonally-Adjusted Substate Data - The not seasonally-adjusted statewide unemployment rate was 8.3 percent in March, down from 8.5 percent a year ago. Not seasonally-adjusted rates ranged from 6.6 percent in Cumberland County to 12.2 percent in Washington County. Rates tended to be lower than the statewide average in southern and central counties and higher than average among mid-coast and northern counties. Unemployment rates were below the statewide average in all three metro areas: Portland-South PortlandBiddeford (6.8 percent), Bangor (7.8 percent), and Lewiston-Auburn (8.2 percent).
