​If you want real-time strategy, just look at the current Middle East conflict involving Israel and Iranian proxies such as Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, Iraqis and Syrian factions.

That this is fascinating case study with real-time development minute by minute is an under-statement.

Students of strategy, conflict resolution and negotiation, military history, state spy craft, and policy and global governance take copious notes. 

What is/are the strategic objectives of the following actors?

Israel

The United States

UK

France

Turkey

Lebanon State

The Islamic Republic of Iran

China

Russia 

Qataris/Saudis/Bahrainis

Jordan

Egypt

UN/UNRWA/UNIFIL

Non-state actors: corporates, NGOs, media, philanthropists

I just listed a couple of these actors and of course, not exhaustive.

But from someone looking at this as a strategy example, you can't help but think we have been here before.

There are clear patterns of behaviors and choices made in the past that can point to how this conflict will evolve in a few months.

It doesn't matter what you do.

Even if you're cleaning the sewer or mowing the lawn, it's a game-changer to be strategic.

If you're not being strategic, you're insidiously losing.

Do you experience distress, fear, anxiety, guilt or shame over the future of the planet?

While the feeling is legitimate for some people, debunking the doom and bust future scenario should delegitimize the concept behind this paranoia. 

Marketers and governments and cause-oriented groups milked the concept of a dystopian future where a zero-sum game of extinction or paradise is logically untenable.

In reality, we will continue to face not just climatic changes but overall fundamental devastation of the environment due to wanton abuse and degradation. Lower-level island nations will experience more extreme weather hazards. Unless things change.

Global governance systems have been stuck for many years. The political will to protect the oceans, forests, land, and the systems of commons is too weak and volatile, hostage to narrow interests. Capitalist growth-oriented economics do not respect nature and its regenerative requirements. 

There are people that are suspected to commit arson in the forests and blame it on climate change. There are marketers and propaganda agents seriously laughing their way to the bank because they help overexaggerate the zero-sum claims of climate doom. 

If you're really afraid and anxious about this, go get yourself checked. It may not be the climate fuelling this mental health issue but could be part of larger symptom of a societal neuroses being played out on ordinary people like you and me.

My business has always been global, hence the logo: GLOBAL OUTLOOK, LOCAL IMPACT.

If some people are irked with this ambition, I think they have a small thinking.

Small thinking is usually scared thinking.

They project their own insecurities on you. So because they can't fathom the idea, you shouldn't do/attempt it.

Life is short.

There is really no joy in hiding your true potential, waiting for blessings or approval for others to proceed to exalt you on your rightful place. 

Get the drift.

Nobody cares and everyone is busy minding their own problem.

Pursue your own global ambition with the feet planted on the ground.

I have coached 25 leaders from around the world while I live in a rural area with just an Internet connection and a lot of heart to give. I worked in 15 countries and trained thousands of people as early as 2000s. 

Of course I have what it takes, but that's not point. 

With technology and focus, it's not difficult but it's not easy either.

Go follow your dreams.
