And so you decide to go to the movie theater, you buy a ticket for the blockbuster for this blockbuster and you go and sit in your favorite seat and you have your Coke and you have your popcorn. And there's no one else in the theater. And the movie starts playing. And so then I have people visualize that movie that plays is actually not the blockbuster. It's actually your life playing.

And your career, not just your career, but your entire life. One scene after the next play. And the good, but also the bad. The people that you brought with you, the people you left behind, etc. And so I have people not just think about that, but feel that and sit in it. And then I start asking questions of what are some of the themes that you're seeing? What are you feeling, good and bad?

What might you call that movie? And that sort of thing. And so what that does is help you see... the trajectory that you're on, what you want that future to look like, but also what does your past look like in bringing up those scenes. And so that is one way of... It's interesting because it feels very peaceful in one sense. You're in this...

envisioning this quiet movie theater but the other hand it can be chaotic because you have all these stories that can come flooding in so that's one exercise that can really stir that up and then you can start to analyze okay what's the narrative that's going to get me there if i want a different future what's the narrative that's going to get me to that future

And then the other piece is the one that I think is the most practical. If you want to find, uncover atomic stories that you didn't know were there is doing the 360s. So what I would recommend is picking three to five people.

And this is not the 360 that many of us from corporate America are used to where you have people that there's all kinds of politics and they're evaluating you, potentially putting you down, being very critical. The goal here is not that the goal here is to go and talk to three to five people who know you care about you and want you to succeed.

And they know you in different spheres and ask them, spend 30 minutes, ask if you can record the call and ask them the first question based on how you've seen me live my life. What do you believe my number one value is? Or you could ask what are my top two values, whatever. And then the next question is please tell a story that you believe best demonstrates that value.

And there's other questions that you can ask. So if you're wanting to know thought leadership, for example, potential directions for thought leadership, what's the one thing that Vince should write about?

forever if Vince could only talk about or write about one thing what would that be to put constraints on it so you take those interviews you record them and then start looking at the patterns from them and seeing and looking at okay what are those stories that they told and how do they make me feel how do they challenge my thinking how might I synthesize those to shift the direction that I'm going

A great example of this was how I ended up bringing 360s into my methodology. But I had on Art Delacruz, who's the CEO of Team Rubicon, an amazing nonprofit that deploys veterans, gives veterans community and purpose by creating opportunities for them to go and serve after natural disasters.
