DO

Learning and adaptation through action. There are better ways than others to unlock the rewarding possibilities hidden in the uncertainties.

Do Tools (8)

Activate & Unlock

Despite the human obsession with managing and reducing risk, some things are better when you stop trying to control them. Look for ways to activate and unlock the essence of the uncertainty you are facing.

10,000 Shots

The notion of unqualified genius is a fiction. Fields like acting, photography, and entrepreneurship show us that before we can succeed, we must try, try, try again.

Values vs Goals

How can you set yourself up so you never fail? When you navigate uncertainty based on your values instead of mercurial goals, you free yourself from anxiety-producing outcomes over which you have no control and lay the groundwork for success, no matter what happens.

Bricolage

Innovators don’t wait for the perfect circumstance to take action. Instead they use whatever they have at hand to get started, which, in a twist of fate, often helps them discover yet more possibilities.

Small Steps

We don’t have to do everything at once to succeed. Most victories are the culmination of a slow climb up the mountain, one step and one experiment at a time.

Learning in Fog

Navigating uncertainty can feel like trying to find your way through a dense fog. Using the right learning strategies helps blow away the fog and guide you to new opportunities.

Pivot

When dealing with uncertainty, it is inevitable that you will need to change direction. Give yourself permission to adapt.

Cognitive Flexibility

Successful innovators don’t persist at all costs. Instead, they adapt their worldview as they go, adopting an “attitude of wisdom” that allows them to become cognitively flexible and ready for changing circumstances.
