Anchoring to Aspiration

A key element of human nature is to build. In this episode of the CultureRoad Podcast, Next Gen EDI, DeEtta Jones sheds light on what is to be gained by anchoring ourselves to aspiration - the philosophy that has guided her EDI work for decades. 

It’s easy, tempting to focus on challenges only. Pain points call attention. DeEtta encourages us in this episode to also imagine and create energy on what could be, targeting an aspirational future state. Focusing on a desirable future taps a different kind of energy, one that is less fear-inspired and potentially invites broader contribution. As you watch this episode, think about what kind of energy motivates you, the attributes of your desired future, and the actions you can begin taking.
