This journey is often known as the Merlin Process.

The purpose of this journey is to stand in the future of your organization's success,

stand on the mountaintop of that future three, five years out, and celebrate all that has
CPS: 10 Duration: 8.28s
5
been accomplished from the place of the future.
CPS: 16 Duration: 3s

For when we stand on the mountaintop, it is much easier for us to have a view back to what

happened in the past that got us here.

how the pathways twisted and turned.

there were clear paths and actually come to understand the milestones that actually
CPS: 13 Duration: 6.02s
13
mattered to get us to this future that we desire.

as now.

When you talk about what you're celebrating, it will be the past.

If the future is three years from today, then you would be talking about things you
CPS: 15 Duration: 5.48s

accomplished last year, two years ago, three years ago, the thing you did right after listening
CPS: 13 Duration: 6.9s

to a guided meditation about the Merlin process.
