Imagine your life as a football field. Over the last several decades, you’ve made steady progress in your life and career, like a football team methodically moving the ball downfield through a series of well-called and executed plays.
But suddenly you encounter an obstacle so formidable that you can no longer make forward progress. It’s as if you’ve hit a brick wall of 300-pound linebackers. None of the plays you normally call to restart your momentum are working anymore. You’re disoriented, disillusioned and don’t know what to do next.
You’re in the Red Zone, the 25 yards closest to your opponent’s goal line where every yard gained becomes a Herculean struggle.
The solution? Develop your own visual playbook
In life, as in football, when you’re in the Red Zone, you need to call different plays to resume your momentum and overcome the forces holding you back.
Using the metaphor of football, The Red Zone Playbook: Creative Strategies for Tackling Life’s Biggest Obstacles, reveals unique tips and strategies to help you reframe your big life challenges, brainstorm creative plays to break through them and score in work and life.
This new book, co-authored by Chuck Frey and John Diggs, includes a set of five one-of-a-kind mind maps and instructions on how to use them to design creative strategies to get unstuck and achieve your goals.
In other words, you can use them to design your own playbook to creatively overcome the challenges you face.
Downloadable templates for these 5 mind maps are exclusively available from MappineerVille, a new online mind mapping community where you can continue your journey of visual thinking and creative play-calling in life.
Together, this new book and a community of like-minded achievers and mind mappers will help you uncover new ways to tackle your challenges and score in work and life more often.
