Direct answer first: The prompts invite you to consider openness and imagination about your future. They’re asking you to reflect on what full transparency would mean in your own thinking and actions, and to describe a vivid, aspirational version of your life. Context and interpretation
- Put everything on the table: This phrase usually means being fully open, honest, and unguarded in the discussion or decision at hand. It’s about sharing all relevant information, concerns, fears, preferences, and possible options so nothing important is hidden. In practice, this often fosters trust and more informed choices, though it can also require judgment about what to reveal and when.
- Your dream future: This asks you to articulate a detailed, hopeful vision of where you want to be, what you’re doing, who you’re with, and how you feel—emotionally, financially, and impact-wise. A rich answer typically includes concrete goals, values alignment, and the steps you’d take to move toward that vision.
Ways to answer thoughtfully
- Define openness: Describe what “putting everything on the table” would look like for you in real life or in a hypothetical discussion. Consider topics you’d share, thresholds for candor, and boundaries you’d set to protect yourself or others.
- Sketch the dream: Paint a coherent picture of your ideal future—career, relationships, health, learning, community, and personal growth. Include milestones, everyday experiences, and the feelings you want to cultivate.
- Connect the two: Explain how the level of openness you choose would support or challenge achieving that dream, and what practical steps (habits, conversations, decisions) would bridge the two.
If you want, you can share:
- A rough scenario (e.g., a career negotiation, a personal relationship, or a life plan) and I’ll tailor a version of “putting everything on the table” for that context.
- A few elements of your dream future (values, goals, lifestyle) and I’ll craft a detailed, executable vision with steps to get there.
