It is hard to look ahead when we are trying to survive the present. It is hard to imagine standing outside in the refreshing summer rain when it is cold and windy outside. It is hard to think about what the world could - and more importantly should - be like when we eventually emerge from the all-encompassing cocoon that has enveloped the world in 2020. However, if we want to have a say in what that new world will be like, we need to have an idea of what it is that we want.

Postalgia sets in when we lose faith in the future and start to believe the here and now is as good as it gets. Postalgia is dangerous in that it is essentially nihilist. If you or your team, employees or customers believe that tomorrow will be no better or worse than today, there is no point in planning for the future, and no point in planning or living for anything other than short-term amusement.

As such, societies plagued with postalgia turn to escapism be that through substance abuse, protests and riots, doom scrolling on social media or virtual reality rather than focusing on conscious future plans for progress.

In other words, postalgia sets in when we lose our purpose and no longer see anything worth progressing towards.

In order to break this cycle of the endless treadmill of the infinite now Flux Trends has teamed up with The Enrichment Project to put together an Open Session on 25 November 2020 for businesses, teams, entrepreneurs and leaders to help you overcome the inertia of postalgia in your organisation and your own life as a leader and look to the future with purpose.

To do this Bronwyn Williams from Flux Trends will talk you and your teams through the trends affecting employee and customer mindsets, team cultures, leadership motivation and organisational innovation for good and for ill. Richard Wright of The Enrichment Project will explain the lessons he has learned, working with organisations all over the world, about how to find and harness the power of purpose even in the darkest and most tumultuous of times to turn trends and inspiration into action with purposeful direction.

In the talk you will learn:

The choice is ours. Postalgia or purpose? Which do you choose?

Who is this session for?

Business leaders, HR professionals, entrepreneurs, marketers, team leaders, managers and anyone looking for inspiration on how to turn current trends into purposeful strategy.
