Painting my way to a new product line

The last few months has been a journey. So many twists and turns. Before I announce the results of the journey, I thought I’d fill in some of the backstory.

I attended Jennifer Lee’s Right Brainer’s in Business video summit in March. I was thinking about the business plan for the new products I was developing, but this inspired me to bring my painting more fully into the process.

If you’ve been to this site before,  you may notice I have a new header. It’s part of the shift, and the first step toward redesigning this site- again. But first, let me back up a bit.

Looking to describe what I really do

The tools I create are used by a wide variety of professionals. They call themselves a range of things:

• Facilitators
• Trainers
• Consultants
• Educators
• Coaches
• Counselors
• Therapists
• Interculturalists

I realized the common thread between them all is they meet a person, or a group, and take them on some kind of journey from where they are now to where they want to be. When I asked the people who use the tools why they value them I kept hearing descriptions of creating magic in the room. I know I talk about never getting tired of watching the magic happen. The other thing is how consistent the results are. Not predictable results, but insights consistently emerge.

Exploring New Options

I had been working with the idea of Exploring My Options– with exploring me, my work, my business, my life– as subsets. When I saw the connections between all the parts of my users, I recognized another thread. We all look for new options with our clients. So the new system gained a name.

Next up

I needed to figure out my role. It turned out to be the keeper of the snag. It will make more sense after my next post.

I like to hear your comments and stay in touch.
