The Wicked Opportunities Podcast
The world is filled with Wicked Problems - incredibly complicated predicaments that don’t have simple solutions. However, the real problem isn’t our complex world, but rather our outdated mindsets. The way that we see the future directly impacts the actions that we take today, so a better world requires better visions. Join futurists Yvette Montero Salvatico and Frank Spencer each week as they use the Natural Foresight® Framework to reframe our Wicked Problems into the transformational ideas that they call Wicked Opportunities.

Presence: I’m Here, I’m Present, I’m Listening To the Future
“Hey, Yvette and Frank, I’ve been loving how you’re demonstrating the connection between the Inner Development Goals and a futurist mindset, but what does “being present” have to do with foresight?” We’re glad you asked! (And, no, you won’t have to take a self-help course on multi-tasking.) In this final podcast in the “Being” domain, our “what lies ahead wayfarers” explore how practicing the act of presencing empowers us to avoid the “tyranny of extraction” from the deep experiences, connections, and realities around us; be fully available to encounter other ideas and perspectives that can guide us into new future territories; and activate the multi-faceted “deep now” that illuminates pathways of possibility previously unimagined. (Yes, we are shameless Nora Bateson fans).
