In the pursuit of our personal and professional growth, it’s easy to fall in the trap of wishful thinking.

We dream about the future we desire … we envision where we want to go to … we start our flight.

Then … soon we realize we will not reach our desired destination.

What went wrong?

Our journey is not just about where we want to go.

That is where we go wrong!

We often fail to understand the why of where we are now. Additionally, we have no real understanding of the dynamics within our own organizations.

“FROM … TO …” guides us in setting clear, actionable objectives and a framework for articulating transformation and progress.

It outlines the starting point, sets the direction, reinforces the destination, and is easy to communicate and understand.

“𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌 … 𝐓𝐎 …” 𝐞𝐱𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐬

✅ Wishful Thinking → Strategic Fact-Based Planning and Execution

✅ Vague Facts & Goals → Precise, Measurable Objectives

✅ Ignoring Obstacles → Embracing Challenges

✅ Isolated Efforts → Collaborative Endeavors

✅ Reactive Decisions → Proactive Strategy

✅ Unclear Plans → Seamless Execution [Action + Emotion]

✅ Product-Driven → Client-Centered

✅ Disengaged → Engaged Coworkers

✅ Who You Are → Who You Want to Be

Adopting the “FROM … TO …” approach is more than a strategy.

It forces us to consciously define where we are. It empowers us to make better informed [strategic] decisions, while steadily moving towards our envisioned future.
