Discover Your Sage Powers: Navigate

Gain clarity, align with your values, and navigate life’s complexities with purpose using the Navigate Sage Power.

What Is Sage?

Your mind operates in two modes: the Saboteurs and the Sage. Saboteurs are negative mental habits that create stress, distractions, and misalignment with your values, blocking clear and purpose-driven decisions.

In contrast, the Sage is the positive, value-driven part of your mind. It helps you face challenges with clarity, confidence, and integrity. The Sage’s five powers — Empathize, Explore, Innovate, Navigate, and Activate — lead you to take meaningful actions.

Sage Power: Navigate

Navigate is the Sage Power that helps you make choices aligned with your deepest values and long-term goals. It encourages you to rely on your internal compass to find clarity and purpose in complex or uncertain situations.

When you activate Navigate, you align your actions with what truly matters, ensuring your decisions lead to a fulfilling, meaningful life. It’s like steering through dense fog, trusting your internal compass to guide the way.

When You Need Navigate

Navigate is crucial when you’re faced with tough decisions or multiple paths, especially when the best choice isn’t immediately clear. It ensures your decisions reflect your values, goals, and purpose — not external pressures or fleeting desires.

Examples include:

  • Deciding between career opportunities, ensuring your choice aligns with personal growth and long-term aspirations.
  • Resolving team conflicts by focusing on shared values and collective goals.
  • Prioritizing meaningful outcomes over short-term wins in high-pressure situations.

How to Use Navigate

Clarify Your Values

Spend time identifying the core values that guide your decisions. Reflect on what matters most to you using tools like values assessments or discussions with a coach.

Visualize Your Future Self

Imagine the person you aspire to become and the life you want to lead. Regularly check if your current actions align with this vision.

The Biggest Obstacles to Navigate: The Pleaser & Hyper-Achiever

Saboteurs like the Pleaser and Hyper-Achiever often undermine Navigate. 

  • The Pleaser prioritizes external validation, distracting you from personal integrity.
  • The Hyper-Achiever focuses on success at the expense of long-term fulfillment.

To fully access your Navigate power, recognize when Saboteurs arise and shift your focus to what truly matters.

Sage Power Game: Flash Forward

When facing a tough decision, imagine yourself at the end of your life, looking back at the choice you’re about to make. Which decision do you wish you had made? This perspective helps cut through Saboteur-driven concerns, revealing what truly aligns with your values and purpose.

Use Flash Forward collectively for teams: Picture your team at the end of its journey. How do you wish you had conducted yourselves to create a lasting impact?

Why Navigate Is Important for Teams

Navigate fosters trust, alignment, and purpose within teams. Team members who align their actions with shared values build stronger connections, enhance collaboration, and achieve meaningful outcomes.

Leaders who model Navigate inspire their teams to stay grounded in purpose, even during challenges. This mindset creates a culture of authenticity and intentional growth.
