About Future Mapping®

Future Mapping, as developed by Learning Strategies Corporation, offers a distinct approach to goal setting that diverges from traditional methods. Here’s a more specific look at how it differs:
Focus on Both Rational and Intuitive Thinking: Future Mapping integrates both logical, analytical thinking and intuitive, imaginative thinking. This contrasts with conventional planning methods that often emphasize linear, rational processes.
Imagining the Ideal Future: Instead of setting goals from a current problem-solving perspective, Future Mapping encourages individuals to imagine an ideal future, engaging with it emotionally and intuitively.
Non-linear Planning: Unlike typical step-by-step planning, Future Mapping involves envisioning the desired outcome and working backwards to identify key leverage points and actions that align with your vision.
Subconscious Alignment through Storytelling: Future Mapping uses storytelling as a tool to align both conscious and subconscious elements with your goals. By crafting a narrative around your envisioned future, you activate deeper emotional and mental engagement. This storytelling aspect helps you visualize the journey towards your goal more vividly, integrating elements of creativity and imagination into the planning process. The narrative can include the challenges, triumphs, and milestones, making the path to the goal more relatable and engaging.
By incorporating storytelling, the process becomes more experiential and compelling, helping to cement the desired outcome in both the mind and emotions. This can be particularly effective at unlocking motivation and maintaining focus on long-term objectives.

Engagement of Emotions: Future Mapping places a strong emphasis on emotional engagement with goals. It stresses that when you feel good about the future you’re envisioning, you’re more likely to mobilize energy and creativity towards achieving it.
Focus on Positive Outcomes: The method tends to stress envisioning positive outcomes rather than focusing on solving issues or problems, which is a shift from many traditional goal-setting methods.
By merging creativity with structured planning, Future Mapping aims to harness deeper motivations and unlock new avenues for achieving goals.
This method uniquely combines visual mapping with storytelling to activate both rational and intuitive capacities, leading to innovative pathways for goal achievement.

Coaching is for those who want to find their passion, gain clarity and direction and live a happier life in accordance with their deepest desires and dreams.

Charlott’s story

In the spring of 2018, I decided to get help breaking with a life-long anxiety about singing in front of others. The shower and car have been safe places for me to sing because no one could judge me. In the meeting with Duane and his coaching toolbox, full of methods, techniques and great empathy, I experienced being met with the gentleness and clarity that made me trust this man’s Integrity. I was able to take on the challenges Duane gave me because I experienced how the anxiety let go of it’s hold on my mind, my feelings and in my body. The most important thing was that I dared to be vulnerable and let Duane coach me through it so it could be transformed into strength. Duane’s coaching methods woven together with his insight into the connection between mind and body, have effectively helped me make the necessary decisions to train my voice in a new way where joy unfolds in parallel

Today I live with a whole new feeling, a new mindset and a new feeling in the body of freedom when I sing.
In August 2018, I sang in front of 80 people I know. In early December, I received an offer
about recording a couple of my own songs in a studio, along with some musicians.

I sing because it creates great joy in my life and when I get nervous and the performance anxiety tries to paralyse me, I refer it to everything I have learned from Duane and then I just sing anyway… .also in front of others .. It makes me happy to be free
