Jane McGonigal, PhD is a world-renowned designer of alternate reality games — or, games that are designed to improve real lives and solve real problems. She believes game designers are on a humanitarian mission — and her #1 goal in life is to see a game developer win a Nobel Peace Prize.

- The 3 questions to give you a baseline sense of your “future mindset”
- When you think about the next 10 years, do you think things will mostly stay the same and go on as normal? Or do you expect that most of us will dramatically rethink and reinvent how we do things?
- When you think about how the world and your life will change over the next 10 years, are you mostly worried or mostly optimistic?
- How much control or influence do you feel you personally have in determining how the world and your life change over the next 10 years?
- How to predict the future?
- Unstick your mind
- Think The Unthinkable
- Imagine the Unimaginable
- Imaginable - How to see the future coming and feel ready for anything– even things that seem impossible today
- One of the issues that cause depression is it doesn’t allow you to imagine a future. For us as leaders, we need to be able to imagine a positive future for ourselves and our team.
- Be a spotlight for other people’s good ideas. Bring attention to it. Be known as someone who spreads positive gossip
- Living in the present. Giannis – "When you focus on the past, that's your ego... And when I focus on the future it's my pride... And I kind of like to focus in the moment, in the present. And that's humility. That's being humble."
