Focus on emotions that lead to a sense of connection and belonging.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Step 2:<\/strong> <strong>Dream (create a picture of the future):<\/strong> Allow yourself and your team to dream and put together the best examples of the present to create an inspiring picture of the future.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Step 3:<\/strong> <strong>Design (concretizing the image of the future):<\/strong> Now the real work on the future begins.
