Description
Based on the upcoming book by bestselling author Seth Godin
Most of us are working very hard on things that can't be fixed.
We optimize, we worry, we push — and nothing changes. And at the same time, we avoid the problems that can be solved, because they feel tangled, uncomfortable, or risky. That's the knot.
This course is about learning to tell the difference — and about what to do once you see it clearly.
In this course, Seth Godin introduces a new framework for understanding why smart, well-intentioned people stay stuck — and how to move forward with focus and purpose. Drawing on decades of work in marketing, leadership, and systems thinking, Seth breaks down the hidden forces that keep problems in place: entanglements, false proxies, and the systems we've inherited but never examined.
What you'll learn
• The critical distinction between a problem (which can be solved) and a situation (which must be accepted) — and why mixing them up is the source of most frustration
• How entanglements — the baggage we bring to our work — keep us from shipping what matters
• The "name the baggage, drop the baggage, ship the work" framework for moving through obstacles with clarity
• Why systems create problems even when everyone in them is trying to do the right thing
• How intentional design and practical empathy point the way toward solutions that actually stick
Who this course is for
■ Business leaders, employees, freelancers, individuals, people in relationship and citizens.
