DRAW YOUR FUTURE, talk by Patti Dobrowolski


A nationally acclaimed comic performer, high-performance business consultant, speaker, strategic illustrator and newly minted author, Patti Dobrowolski spends her time focused on new neuroscience discoveries that leverage the power of imagination and visuals to actualize a vision of the future. Dobrowolski works with teams and leaders of Fortune 500 companies and nonprofits around the world to inspire them to create new and different strategies while literally capturing the organization's vision in a 4' x 8' illustration. 

Briefing: 
Maya Angelou: "a solitary fantasy can transform a million realities."
What dream or vision do you want to turn into reality?

I just know there´s more. You know it because you feel it. You lie awake at night. you talk about your dreams,... but more often than not, you continue with the same behaviour... You ask yourself: "How can I maek it happen?"

Research shows: just 1/10 success to change, even if facing a life threatening illness.

But you can lead the life you desire.Three steps
  1. See it ---> Draw it as compelling as possible
  2. Believe it
  3. Act on it: graciously ask and train your brain to actually execute your vision. 
Examples of pictures´power
Example of company vision (graphic facilitation): Roche pharmaq
Draw your current state and your desired new reality. Joe´s example.
Just three steps can transform one reality: yours.
Enjoy life!

SUNNI BROWN (Gamestorming): Visual Thinking and Facilitation. Course(s) in Bilbao (and near) soon

Do you want to collaborate in the organization of this great meet-up?

Sunni Brown, author of Gamestorming will be spending some months in Paris and we are organizaing a workshop on her expertise. Some thoughts regarding it...
1. A 4 morning or evening course could be good. Incubating time in between meet-ups is usually helpful. Maybe Tu, Th, Fr, Sa ; maybe better Fr-eve, Sa, Su, Th or so,... we'll see. We could arrange the accomodations in homes of the organizing time, quite sure.
2. First it'll be to find some support and people interested in it. It's my first time in this kind of mediation business... As Sunni says, where there is a will there is a way. Good!
3. Potential attendees we´re thinking about...
Consultants
Facilitators

People in these fields:
Creativity
Innovation
Media & Publishing
Education
Art (people looking for other business opportunities)
...

         Are we right? Any other suggestions?
4. We asked Sunni a short note on the kind of workshop she would offer. Any other suggestions from anyone reading this post will also be so welcome, sure!

5. Collaboration: we could ourselves run a part of the workshop regarding mind mapping (we have some expertise in it). We could also translate parts, but I think it best having it for English speaking/understanding people -not so usual here-. It would be a pity losing Sunni´s humour and the momentum through translations,...
We´ll keep on with this dream-idea and let you know if sth flourishes...

Enjoy life :-)!

MANIFESTO FOR CHILDREN (E. Paul Torrance on a CREATIVE LIFE)



As someone passionate about creativity I've spent much time exploring the subject and many authors' ideas. E. Paul Torrance was acclaimed as one of the main experts. One day I came by this piece. I got impressed by it, printed it and pasted it on my work table. Whenever I was kind of upset, reading it and dreaming it's absolutely true used to energize me.

I don't any more work at the same office, but I have since had in mind I should recover this piece and have it always at hand. I believe in it nowadays more than ever before and today is the day I recover it for this blog.


E. Paul Torrance MANIFESTO FOR CHILDREN
---
Don't be afraid to fall in love with something and pursue it with intensity.

Know, understand, take pride in, practice, develop, exploit
and enjoy your
greatest strengths.

Learn to free yourself from the expectations of others and to walk away from the games they impose on you.

Free yourself to play your own game.

Find a great teacher or mentor who will help you.

Learn the skills of interdependence.

Don't waste energy trying to be well rounded.


Enjoy yourself,

Eleder
