Description
Well Being remains, in spite of Covid’s interruption, a plausible personal, corporate and planetary goal. I review the Age of Progress until Covid along with the barriers to continued progress. The belief in individual and collective Agency will determine our future. Efficacy, Optimism, and Imagination, the three parts of agency can be taught in the clinic, the classroom, and the corporation. Juliana of Norwich (1365) will be our beacon.
Learning Objectives
- What are the components of Agency?
- What epoch illustrate high agency and Progress?
- And what epoch illustrates low agency and stagnation?
- Name two techniques for building efficacy
- Name two techniques for building optimism
