Thank you for this honesty (and great humour:) regarding the language of strategic planning, Todd! It's so nice to have someone write so truthfully about the repetitive jargon and how it can be transformed with a deeper dive into language and story. (Also, you have reminded me of Orwell's essay, and inspired me to go back to it. What a great practice to return to it every year.)

Thank you for reading, Carmen. It’s amazing how much popular nonsense enters the way we think and communicate, no matter the era.

Nice piece Todd! The story is the timeless vessel that invites people in to be part of a journey. To see themselves in it. To learn from it and contribute to it.
