Welcome to our next episode of <\/span><b>How to Write the Future.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This is a podcast for science fiction and fantasy writers who want to create optimistic stories because when we vision what is possible, we help make it so.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I&#8217;m your host, Beth Barany. I am a science fiction and fantasy writer myself and a creativity coach, focusing on helping science fiction and fantasy authors with their stories.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO LEARN HOW TO WRITE THE FUTURE?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>BETH BARANY 01:28<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">INTRODUCTION<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hello, creatives. This week I have something new for you that I may I do on a regular basis, and that is to share news and updates in the world of foresight and futurists.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You look into the future and you want to know what will happen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But nobody can know the future for sure. Nevertheless, you can certainly practice, envision and rehearse different scenarios.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In essence, that&#8217;s what stories are all about&#8211; rehearsing through living a story about what could happen, what might happen, what you would do if faced with this or that circumstance, or a situation or problem or dilemma or opportunity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are a lot of ways you can flex this imagination muscle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Storytelling and story writing are my jam.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, as a reader, you can read other people&#8217;s stories. You can watch them. And you can imagine them yourself, like in a daydream.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also meet with and talk with other people who are doing these imaginings for themselves and for others.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WHAT-IF &#8211; THE POWER TOOL OF THE IMAGINATION<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What-if is one of my favorite power tools of the imagination. And I talked about in a previous episode. Be sure to check out that episode in the show notes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What-if gets your attention focused on what could be.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And for the purposes of this podcast, we&#8217;re focusing on the positive, and on opportunities on what we can create.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So I have some questions for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What if you could create the kinds of stories you wanted to?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What if you could arrange your daily schedule so that you could work on your creative life at your peak energy times?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And what if you fed your imagination with exactly what it needed to help you create the stories you wanted to create?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I&#8217;d like to hear from you. What are your story or real life positive what-ifs?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Please leave me a message in audio or written form at HowToWriteTheFuture.Com because I would love to I would love to feature your what- ifs and an upcoming HOW TO WRITE THE FUTURE episode.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why is it important that we share our positive futures with each other? Our positive, what ifs?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well, when creative individuals inject their ideas into the collective, we give the collective, the community that people were around, the people who will pay attention to our work, we give them an opportunity for the group to evolve and change. If you don&#8217;t share your ideas, then we as a collective and by this, I mean, humanity, we don&#8217;t get to benefit from your ideas and your visions. And that really would be a shame. Because we are all part of this human group.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Everyone here deserves to have a voice. And everyone here deserves to have a hand in deciding our own future and that future of the future generations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">UPCOMING FUTURISTIST AND FORESIGHT EVENTS<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, as I said, uh, this week, I want to talk about some upcoming events and trainings that, uh, futurists and foresight practitioners pay attention to and may find quite interesting. When you gather together in a group online or in person, you can find connection. You can find community, you can see that there are others in this positive future space. You can learn and grow and evolve and have an opportunity to inject your ideas uh, into the communities that you&#8217;re a part of.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So here we go.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some upcoming events.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In December, this coming December, The Foresight Institute will be running their Vision Weekend event, wnd I&#8217;m actually going to It. One of them is in the San Francisco Bay Area. That&#8217;s where I will be and it is going to be a weekend of discussions and presentations around biotech, nanotech, neurotech, space tech, computer science, and existential hope. There&#8217;s going to be festivities, conversations, hopefully cross pollination, and some art showings and demos.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The link to this event put on by the Foresight Institute, for their Vision Weekend event is in the show notes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In January, January 2023, the School For International Futures will be running a training program for those who want to get training in strategic foresight. It&#8217;s an online virtual course. It is definitely for people who want to learn strategic foresight to build future fit organizations. It is designed for people who work in strategy policy, leadership, and analysis roles in governments, NGOs, international organizations, and businesses. There are only 20 places available for this eight week virtual course, and it can work around your existing work commitments, and takes about 30 hours of course time. I have put a link to this training program in the show notes and if you&#8217;ve been paying attention to my podcast from the beginning, you know, I did a retreat with the School For International futures this past summer. And I highly recommend them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The next event I want to put your attention to is something that I look forward to every year. This event will be in March, 2023, and it will be Amy Webb&#8217;s presentation at South By Southwest. She uses this presentation to release her annual report, um, put out by her organization called a Future Today Institute. And every year she releases an Annual Tech Trends Report. I&#8217;ve watched for about the last six years, uh, on YouTube. It&#8217;s fabulous. So check out a link to the show notes to Amy Webb&#8217;s presentation at South By Southwest in March of 2023. And you can sign up at her website to get notified, to see their Annual Tech Trends Report, which has this amazing 600 page report. Of course, it&#8217;s digital, it&#8217;s fabulous.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is another uh, March event, which is going to be happening March 12th, 2023. We&#8217;ll be a day-long event in Sacramento, California, sponsored by California 100, a California nonprofit, working with groups and organizations to shape the next 100 years in California. This will be a youth oriented event, helping young people envision their own future and the future for California. California 100 is a transformative statewide initiative focused on inspiring a vision and strategy for California&#8217;s next century that is innovative, sustainable, and equitable. The initiative is incubated at the University of California and Stanford. And it&#8217;s guided by an expert in intergenerational commission. And I hope to be there taking part in this event. So again, the note for the California 100 youth summit on March 12th, 2023 will be in the show notes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, lastly, I want to call your attention to an online course that you can take at any time and I&#8217;ve actually signed up It&#8217;s the Institute for the Futures course on Coursera called Futures Thinking. You can audit the course for free. And check it out if you&#8217;re interested in learning more about futures thinking. The description says, &#8220;Ready yourself for a changing world. Learn the skills and mindsets of the world&#8217;s top futurists. So you can forecast what&#8217;s coming, imagine new possibilities, and seize control of your future.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So that&#8217;s it for today&#8217;s news in the world of futurists and strategic foresight.
