Four-Step Foresight

 

Imagine, lead, learn and fix your way to the future

Discover the neuroscience behind the brain’s ‘future-think’ to strategically manage change from the unwanted to the preferred.

Four-Step Foresight reveals how the brain thinks about the future and how we can utilise this knowledge to successfully plan for change. It reframes the future in terms of the relationship between brain time (our objective neurobiological reality) and mind time (our subjective mental reality) as we consciously imagine a better future, lead ourselves there, learn as we progress and finally fix our problems in the present.

Since thinking about the future (or foresight) is a uniquely individual capacity, the focus of Four-Step Foresight is on the individual (whether a leader or follower) in the first instance and the collective (whether an organisation or team) in the second. By developing the individual’s foresight capability, the collective is in a better position to negotiate continuous change successfully.

God’s View of Marriage

 

An Apologetic on Marriage, Divorce and Remarriage

GOD’S VIEW OF MARRIAGE is an apologetic on Marriage, Divorce and Remarriage. It argues that God’s governance of marriage, first established in Genesis 2:22-25, is His arrangement for a committed relationship between a man and a woman. It is a commitment for life and cannot be broken unless death for either party occurs (Mark 10:5-9; Romans 7:2-3; 1 Cor. 7:39). Sadly, God’s governance of such is now ignored by many in the Protestant faith tradition.

The book systematically supports God’s view by noting specifically Jesus and the Apostle Paul’s affirmation of such in the New Testament narratives. The book presents a challenge to those who believe, oversight, teach and support the impermanence of marriage.

The book is the fifth written by the author who believes that God is a God of absolutes and one of those absolutes is His view of marriage.

Hopefully Flawed

 

A Celebration of Motherhood

Motherhood was not my lifelong dream.

By early adulthood, Sara had it all worked out. Highly committed to her medical career, she intended on pursuing brain surgery as her specialty. Utterly content as a single girl, she wondered if she was called to celibacy.

One husband and four living children later, she found herself working as a rural generalist. Her best laid plans had clearly gone awry.

Would her medical background prove a help or hindrance with parenting prowess? Harbouring a tendency towards anxiety, how would she face the overwhelming list of things now wildly out of her control? How would this social introvert navigate the relentless demands of her adorable dependants? And as a relapsing perfectionist, would she be crushed by the weight of her own expectations with excelling at this 24/7 job?

Hopefully Flawed weaves cathartic poetry with retrospective prose to celebrate a true story about answering the call to motherhood, and the freedom of finding meaning in the mess.

Flaws are inevitable. Hope is possible.

About the Author

 

Country convert Sara Georg is a part-time doctor, full-time mother, and undeniably lucky wife. She endures the hardship of beachside living in rural South Australia with her husband Matty and their three youngest children.

She holds a deep appreciation for meaningful conversation, a quiet addiction to the thrill of turning off her phone, and suffers emotional allergies to high heels, half-rhymes, and hurry. When she isn’t listening to patient stories, Sara can be found indulging in Asian breakfasts, messy catch-ups, and singing in the kitchen about Jesus, Disney, and Broadway.

A poet and writer since childhood, Sara figured it was time to make something of it before entering her fifth decade. Despite B-grade brush skills, she loves to paint with words. Hopefully Flawed is her first public exhibition—and you are warmly invited.
