The Empty Chair Strategy

It is WayMaker Wednesday! Time to challenge your mind, reframe your perspective, and equip yourself for action.

The Question

What would the future you, the version forged in truth, love, and alignment, say about this decision?

The Thought

Most people make decisions in reaction to:

• Pressure
• Ego
• Scarcity

WayMakers decide differently.

They make room at the table.

Not for consensus. Not for comfort. But for conviction.

Imagine your highest self, the one aligned with your purpose, marked by clarity, strength, and discipline, was sitting in the room with you.

Would they approve of what you are about to do?

Would they be proud of how you are showing up?

Would they call you to slow down or step up?

Physically set the table with an empty chair, where your future self may sit.

This is the Empty Chair Strategy: Make decisions in the presence of your future self.

Because vision is not a feeling. It is a presence you can invite into the room.

And when you do, the right choice gets clearer.

Put It Into Action

This week, before your next key decision:

• Leave one seat open
• Picture the version of you five years from now
• Ask them what they see
• Let their voice sharpen your own.

Forge Forward,

Jon Mayo
