Training in VISIONARY SKILLS. 1nf0 Graphic Mentors

The market place of Training Visionary skills:

In the Business Schools the training is for 99 % Management Training

and NOT about enhancing your personal Visionary Skills.

You have your way, I have my way. As for the correct way, the right way and the only way, it does not exist.

Friedrich Nietzsche.


The market place: The Guru’s The Ideas

most probably you have heard about these people and ideas:

John Kotter 7 C’s Trompenaars & Hampden-Turner , desire to learn McCollum open and curious mind Garvin management, meaning, and measurement. Heil & Alepin , tolerate risk Greenberg and Baron , vision carrying, Cummings, vision catching, Bolt and Brassard, walk the talk , Goldsmith, Establish a sense of urgency Wallington , destiny stewarding,Ortenblad, make the learning public, Zaccaro, Communicate the vision, Plan and create short-term wins.

the names and idea’s are at random


The market place :

You learn from case studies, which are embedded in models.

There is the saying: those who can, do - those who can’t , ...teach.

Just as all people are different, so is every Organisation. Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others.

Jonathan Swift.

Big jobs usually go to the men who prove their ability to outgrow the small ones.

Theodore Roosevelt. You are your own CEO. Nobody is born a Manager or a Leader; it is your

major job to develop yourself. Start with your visionary skills.


Visionary starts with VISION. What we see is not necessarily what ‘ is ’.

there is the painted landscape on the glass and the real landscape outside. Renée Magritte.

Visionary starts with VISION.

What you see can hold a message.

This picture asks to look closer and find the message - that you will never touch the inner truth.

Julia Orell The Window

Leaves, flowers and a butterfly can be interpreted as a young lady.


Visionary starts with VISION.

These are bi-stable pictures that can have different interpretations. It can be an old lady witch, or a

young girl , or the same female person at a different age.

Why do people stick to one interpretation out of the multiple possibilities?

The process of Vision tells something about our self.

To perceive the World is to co-perceive oneself. J.J.Gibson.


To perceive the World is to co-perceive oneself. The seer is caught up in what he sees, it is himself he sees! There is a fundamental narcism of all vision. I feel myself looked at by the

things. To perceive the World is to co-perceive oneself. Merleau-Ponty: The Visible and the Invisible.

I look (gaze) at a scene and the scene gives me an unconsciously coded message back.

When we look into an abyss, the abyss also looks into you. Friedrich Nietzsche.

This is the same as when your body wants to tell you what’s physically is going wrong with you; or when in your garden the herb that might be beneficiary for your health will try to catch your attention.

The first teaching is to learn about what the picture, the view, the scene, the object wants to tell

you.


Start by creating i d l e Time. and begin your first dialogue with NOTHINGNESS.

Take a blank large white paper and gaze at it. Idle your mind. Let –white talk to you. Do the same with a black paper.

Darkness there was: at first concealed in darkness;

this ALL was indiscriminate Chaos. All that existed, then was void and formless.

By the great Power of Warmth was born that Unit.

Thereafter rose DESIRE in the beginning.

Desire the Personal seed and germ of Spirit.

Darkness exists because of Light. Light exists because of Darkness.

Pink noise


To perceive the World is to co-perceive oneself.

The same principles are valid for the Audible. Here stand SILENCE and SOUND for Darkness and Light. “ We cannot exploit Silence, it is Silence that exploits us” Max Piccard: Le Monde du Silence.

In the seminars organised by InfoGraphicMentors , a series of exercises are held with bi-stable and multi-stable pictures and the emergence of information out of noise.Theoretical inputs on what is Information and Communication is an add on option.



The viewing is an iterative process until a stable mental picture

has been reached, or until a mental compromise for relevance is achieved.

The viewer differentiates (ask for details) and integrates the inputs ( tries to make sense of the inputs). This goes on till a stable view of the view is reached.

a detailed example : >>> http://www.slideshare.net/RonnyVerlet/semiotics-design-for-appeal

To perceive the World is to co-perceive oneself. Differentiation.


To perceive the World is to co-perceive oneself. Differentiation – Integration

We create a version of the view that fits best our own Self.


In some cases people do not manage to re-integrate the parts of the picture and can make no sense of a whole. The person will focus on a specific part or element and getting obsessed what is called PARANOIA.

The process of iteration is interrupted and no stable and balanced meaning or sense is reached. This is mostly due to some blockage during infant development

or to the unbalanced development of the EGO which has created a self image out of touch with the real person he or she is.

When we look into an abyss, the abyss also looks into you. Friedrich Nietzsche.

This is the same as when your body wants to tell you what’s physically is going wrong with you; or when in your garden the herb that might be beneficiary for your health will try to catch your attention.

The first teaching is to learn about what the picture, the view, the scene, the object wants to tell

you.


How this works: When you think about something; try to replace that thinking

into a mode of thought making the thinking.

Try not to think but permit that Thought thinks you. How to practise in real?

Next is to learn to practise the STATE OF NO MIND.


- A first way is when you perform an activity like walking, biking, swimming...,

stop your thinking about the trajectory or whatever other issue linked to the activity.

Concentrate on the activity itself....let the walking walk, the bicycle bike, the water swim my body.

- When you do intellectual labour do not search for truth but for the different visions and opinions. Refuse to make preferences.

Practise the STATE OF NO MIND


- Look in the multiplicity of things what unite them and repress the dualistic categorisation.

Map the commonalities and unifying factors and elements. - Practise to find the words that relate to facts. Eliminate the words and

rhetorically related to creation of sentiment and passions.

Listen to the wise: Nothing is more difficult than to be simple. Huxley

When Mind in itself is not liberated from the false,There is nothing true ; nowhere is the True to be found.

Hui Neng

Practise the STATE OF NO MIND



The same principles are valid for the Audible.

Here stand SILENCE and SOUND for Darkness and Light.

“ We cannot exploit Silence, it is Silence that exploits

us ”.

Max Piccard: Le Monde du Silence.


Exercise by Audible experience.

When you listen to music you hear several phenomenon simultaneous. Try to split a set of these components like the instruments,

rhythms, etc. You reconstruct the separated audible parcels in buckets

and continue to listen and repeat the process in a continuous way.

Another exercise is to repeat and to reconstruct what happened during the day in chronologic sequence followed by the buckets weighted along a measure of importance, impact, emotional etc. Your day experience is talking to you.

Make it a ritual habit. RITUAL REPETITIVE Processes are a powerful source for releasing the unconscious messages.


reconstruction of the sound buckets.

Audio spectrum


In order to train your sense for no-mind you can practise the same exercise in space-time mode.

Before you sleep just practise to recall all the different steps you undertook during the day.

In the pre-sleep/dream mode the actions of the day are more easily to be filtered from all attached emotions... Or at least this is the objective to regard everything as a mechanical process which pops up in the real live drive.

Take this step as a habit and you will see how more rational and un-detached you will become and leave room to instinct and the work of the unconscious.


Visionary starts with , ... idle play.


Visionary starts with UNLEARN ... KNOWING.


Visionary starts with Unlearning Knowledge.

What do we know about KNOWING ?

What we know about a THING is embedded in different notions.

- a name.- A set of RELATIONS. - There is a CONCEPTUAL embedment.- There are INFLUENCES of other Domains.

based on the ideas of Michel Foucault: L’ Archeologie du Savoir 2007


Visionary starts with Unlearning Knowledge.KNOWING a THING .

. A THING get’s the right to exist by a Name.

. A Name does not refers to a -unique Idea.

Set the thing free from its name .exercise

exercise Give names to a thing that has no name.

In the seminars of InfoGraphicMentors a series of exercises will be made.

Visionary starts with Unlearning Knowledge. KNOWING a THING .

A Thing is embedded in a CONCEPT. concept = con + cept

= create together = integration of

ideas

Visionary starts with Unlearning Knowledge. KNOWING a THING . A Thing is embedded in a CONCEPT.

The different dimensions of Concepts are: Frames, Patterns, Fields.

CONCEPTS have a participatory function. A contrast of what they are not, a web of ‘meanings’ created by interrelated activities.

“ If you try to explain something by comparing it with something else, you fail to hit the middle. “ Keiji Nishitani.

A good practise to familiarise with different Concepts is Quantum Thinking.



A Thing is embedded in a CONCEPT.

In the seminars of InfoGraphicMentors there are exercises planned where you have to shape a thing into a concept . Then you create an alternative concept. Case studies of topics or things that have been embedded in different concept frames will be discussed.


Visionary starts with Unlearning Knowledge. KNOWING a THING . - a name.

- A set of RELATIONS. - There is a CONCEPTUAL embedment.

- There are INFLUENCES of other Domains.

the main triggers to link

to other domains are:

- Probability. - Mutations.

- Discontinuity.



In the process of un-learning Knowledge you have to position your current Mental State on the

Evolutionary Path of Knowledge.

Different stages in the Evolutionary Path are: - a Will to Truth: e.g. The Bible, the Power of Discourse and

Rhetoric, Quantification and Rationalisation.- a Will to Message: decoding messages films, fairy tales. Myths; Mathematical Models, Forecasting, MULTIMEDIA.- A Will to Meaning: Chaos Theory, System Complexity, LOVE.

reference : Michel Foucault: L’ Archeologie du Savoir 2007.


Summary Part 1:

- Learn to view and double your vision (direct & indirect).- Idle Play.- Learn to unlearn and new learn. - Put yourself on the evolutionary track.

Part 2 will focus on Quantum thinking, the Chaos Theory, System Complexities ( as our mental brain processes) and Semiotics. Insight in these subjects will open your mind for visionary skills.
