The narrative void

Uncategorized 1 Minute

You open your stocks daily and see them dropping.

What do you do?

It’s possible you sell them. It’s more likely you first seek to fill the “narrative void.” All you have is data. No reasoning. No why. It’s natural to want to correct that. In fact, it’s human nature.

We’re all seeking out “why.” Why this career? Why this project? Why live here? Why this person? Why not me?

Narratives are tools to answer why, but the can be positive or negative in nature. They can be truths or lies. Once things for certain, if they aren’t helping you, they’re useless.

I believe in helping people in whatever way you can. In the power of creativity to transform a life, a business and the world. That if everyone was more generous the world would thrive. I've been an engineer. A consultant. An entrepreneur. And a salesperson. I also enjoy art. Today, I write. Stemming from my diverse experiences, I have a broad perspective and share it with others on topics from doing work you love to running a small business.
