Design Your Future to Close the Gap

Workshop Slides

Close the Gap

Hello BVisionRYs! 

Thank you for your energy and active participation in our first workshop, "Design Your Future to Close the Gap." It was a privilege to witness your breakthroughs as we navigated the space between where you stand today and where you are headed.

During our time together, we explored:

  • The Power of Vision: Learning to use vision as a strategic leadership tool.
  • The Bridge: Navigating the critical transition between your "Now" and your "Future."
  • Identifying Leaks: Pinpointing the daily habits or mindsets that drain your potential and finding practical tools to plug those gaps.

Your Mission

Now, it is time to move from insight to integration. Insight without action is just information; for your new leadership tools to stay sharp, they must be used.

Remember: If you do not put what you learned into practice, your tools will rust.

Complete the following assignment to solidify your transformation and begin stepping into your Future Self today. I can't wait to see your progress!

The purpose of this Assignment: 

To move from a vision of the future to a lived reality today. This assignment uses AI as a strategic mirror to help you identify the specific Mindsets, Skills, and Habits required to embody your Future Self.

The process for completing this task:

Step 1: Capture Your Current State & Future Vision

Part A: Your Starting Point Review the obstacles you identified during our first workshop - the specific challenges that are currently holding you back as a leader. Also include the struggles that we all agreed on as a group during that session.

Write these down clearly:

  • My personal obstacles are: [List here]
  • Our shared struggles are: [List here]

Part B: Your Future Vision Based on the work we did in this workshop, write your new leadership vision in your own words. Describe who you will be as a leader and how you will show up differently.

  • My Future Leadership Self is: [Write your vision here]

Note: Be honest and specific. The clearer you are about where you are now and where you want to go, the more powerful the AI analysis will be.

Step 2: The Leadership Gap Analysis

Now, take your data from Step 1 and run this prompt to get your roadmap.

Copy/Paste this into the AI:

"I am working on bridging the gap between my Current Leadership Self and my Future Leadership Self. Based on the responses I will provide, act as an Executive Coach and perform a Deep-Dive Gap Analysis.

  • Current Leadership Self: [Insert your obstacles and struggles from Step 1A]
  • Future Leadership Self: [Insert your vision from Step 1B]

Please categorize the gap into these three specific pillars:

  1. Mindset Shifts: What internal beliefs or perspectives must change to inhabit the future state and which ones to acquire for closing the gap?
  2. Skill Acquisition: What skills are currently missing or under-leveled that I need to learn to close the gap (a skill is a specific, single, learnable ability you can practice - e.g., active listening, storytelling, staying calm under pressure)?
  3. Habit Transformation: What daily recurring actions must be 'deleted' and what new habits must be 'installed' to close the gap?

Output Requirements: Please present the analysis as a structured plan using the following three pillars:

  1. Mindset Shifts: Identify the exact mindset that is contributing to closing the current gap - "Limiting Beliefs" in the Current State and the "Empowering Truths" required for the Future State. Provide a Bridge Strategy for mental reframing.
  2. Skill Acquisition: List all specific skills that are missing. Provide a brief explanation of its definition for each and how it can help me close the gap.

  3. Habit Transformation:

    • Deletions: What daily actions must be stopped immediately?
    • Installations: What specific new routines (Morning, Deep Work, or Evening) must be started? What habits do you suggest I start implementing to help me close the gap?
    • Provide a Bridge Strategy for habit stacking and consistency.

The Action Plan Outcome: Conclude with an Implementation Roadmap in a table format."

Step 3: Construct Your Future Self Plan

Based on the information gathered in Step 2, create a Full Practice Roadmap. Your plan should include:

  1. Habit Shifts: Which specific habits are you deleting, and what are you replacing them with?
  2. Mindset Shifts: Which narrative are you stopping, and what is your new "Empowering Truth"?
  3. Skills Acquisition: A list of all skills you will learn to close the gap
  4. The Daily Toolkit: Three specific, "everyday tools" (e.g., a specific breathing exercise, a morning ritual, or a communication script) you will use starting tomorrow


The work you will submit: 

Your submission for this second assignment will be in a Google Sheet, where you will add a tab for: 

Instructions:

Tab One- Habit Shifts: Which specific habits are you deleting, and what are you replacing them with?

Tab Two- Mindset Shifts: Which narrative are you stopping, and what is your new "Empowering Truth"?

Tab Three- Skills Acquisition: A list of all  skills you will learn to close the gap.

Tab Four- The Daily Toolkit: Three specific, "everyday tools" (e.g., a specific breathing exercise, a morning ritual, or a communication script) you will use starting tomorrow.

​Final Review: Take a moment to review all fields to ensure they are complete. The sheet saves automatically.
