Why The Other Tomorrow?

When I was young, I couldn’t remember the word yesterday. So naturally, I made up my own phrase: the other tomorrow. My family knew exactly what I meant, and somehow, it worked perfectly.

Now, when I think about that phrase, I think of yesterday—but I also think of the other tomorrow. What lies ahead? What could the next tomorrow look like? We all tell the stories of yesterday, and we all imagine the stories yet to come.

As a storyteller, I believe both yesterday and the other tomorrow are essential to the story you choose to share—and to live. It’s cyclical, and that’s what makes the other tomorrow whatever you truly want it to be. At its heart, The Other Tomorrow is about helping people and organizations reflect, imagine, and shape what comes next.
