Change. Enigmatic. Unpredictable. These days, it feels like the uninvited guest that overstays its welcome, disrupting our carefully constructed routines. But what if, hidden within the debris of the familiar, lies the seed of something truly remarkable?
In this season finale of Mission Forward, Carrie explores the often-uncomfortable reality of transformation. She shares the story of a non-profit CEO whose outward success masked a period of intense internal change, illustrating a powerful truth: sometimes, detours and unexpected roadblocks are precisely what propel us forward. Think of Bob Ross and his "happy accidents"—those unexpected brushstrokes that transform a canvas. It’s this same wisdom that, when applied to organizational change, suggests that seemingly negative events can be remarkable catalysts for growth.
So, embrace the fork in the road. Embrace the unknown. The most rewarding journeys are often the ones for which we never prepared a brief.
Thank you for joining us this year and this season, and from all of us here on the Mission Forward team we wish you a rich, rewarding, and restful holiday. See you in 2025!
