READYALREADY®
Hello, I’m Allister Frost.
You already know how quickly change races towards us these days. It’s relentless! There’s always something new to learn, some new skill or technique to master. Technology fuels much of it, but so do smart people with a hunger for progress.
But many people would prefer to stick to what they know. When confronted by change, they turn their backs or try to stay in their hard-earned comfort zone. Others may fight back, actively resisting change, trying to slow progress. And the rest will slowly surrender to the change, ticking boxes and doing just enough to keep up.
Sound familiar? Around the world, busy professionals are reporting that keeping up is now tougher than ever. Gartner surveyed working people and found 58% urgently need new skills just to get their existing jobs done, and 80% feel poorly prepared for the future.
That’s why we need a better approach to keeping up. We need a Future-Ready Mindset.
My ground-breaking ReadyAlready® Growth Cycle has inspired thousands of seasoned professionals to embrace new possibilities with curiosity, creativity, and brilliant communication. By leveraging three vital human superpowers, they’ve shifted to a positive, optimistic mindset where they proactively explore and plan for a brighter tomorrow.
To get started, all you need is a simple, easy-to-remember process, and a collective willingness to explore, discover, and act.
A reminder of the process
No-one ever created a brilliant future for themselves without first having a reason to do so.
That’s why everything good begins with a Personal Mission:
The heartfelt reason you love working in the service of others
Your Personal Mission is the reason why you believe in the work you do. It is the North Star that will guide and inspire you to create a meaningful, purpose-driven future for yourself and your colleagues. It is unique to you and is what makes you extra special and indispensable at work.
The Personal Mission sits at the heart of your ReadyAlready® Growth Cycle. It can remind you—through the ups and down of each working day—why you do what you do. It will help you stay wholesomely invested in making improvements for the longer term, no matter what life throws at you next.
Finding a motivating Personal Mission is not always easy, but it is vital if you want to stay the course through the changes and challenges of the future.
As your Personal Mission comes into focus, you’ll be ready to begin spinning the cycle with these five simple steps:
Let’s bridge the gap between who you are today and the person you need to become to deliver your Personal Mission.
Make a list of all the work-related things you think you may need to understand better in the near-future. Now select your favourite, just one. This is the thing you will FOLLOW.
Let the adventure of discovery begin!
Learn all you can about your thing from multiple different sources, before deciding how you should REACT. Armed with the knowledge you have gained, does it still seem important and potentially useful for your future? If yes, it’s a winner, move on!
(If no, return to the FOLLOW step and pick a different thing from your list)
It’s time to unleash your first future-making human superpower!
Suspend your experience and OPEN your mind by naïvely questioning your thing to challenge conventional wisdom and the status quo. Act like it’s your first day on the job; no question is too daft… Keep asking yourself “Why?” with the cheeky enthusiasm of a child, to spot areas for quick win improvements. You’re not looking for solutions here, you’re simply creating space in your mind for the next step.
It’s time for some fresh thinking, so let’s unleash your next human superpower!
SURPRISE yourself (and others) with playful, unexpected, creative thinking to generate non-obvious ideas for the future of your thing. Fire up your imagination and dream big as you repeatedly ask “What if…?” to help you stumble upon new possibilities and big wins opportunities that others cannot see. Collect up all your ideas, ready to share in the next step.
No-one ever changed anything significant alone, so it’s time for the final, vital human superpower: brilliant communication and collaboration!
Carefully decide how to TELL the right people about your thing, to win their support and encouragement. Invite them to respond with “Yes! And…” and help make your ideas better.
By bravely sharing your discoveries, ideas, and dreams, you can shift from ‘thinking’ to ‘doing’ as you inspire others to help you deliver positive change through collective action.
…and don’t stop there!
The ReadyAlready® Growth Cycle can help you learn and grow again and again. Once you’ve mastered one thing, restart the process by updating your FOLLOW list and picking a new thing to focus on. Depending on what you’re working on, it may take a few days or a few months to complete each cycle, but keep going. There’s always something new to discover that might help unlock a fabulous future for you and your work colleagues 🙂
