(Bridging Futures founder Sherry Lowry explains all in this continuation of her interview with Jane Ross)

After our learning-social open house last month, we realized it would be very useful for people to get a better sense of what we’re doing. Anna and I were talking about the different offerings that we extend and realized people aren’t aware of all the things we offer and how they are related. All of a sudden, Anna picked up a napkin and started sketching out this path that captured what we do at Bridging Futures as VPM: vision, productivity, and message. Honoria took Anna’s sketch and turned it into this beautiful graphic that’s now on our home page.

The anchor point of the graphic is V for Vision. We offer a series of workshops that are all related to some stage of vision, whether it’s creating vision, documenting the vision, planning the strategy of the vision, or executing into the vision.

So far we’ve hosted two vision board full-day workshops and we have another one coming up on September 26, 2009. Participants have included small business owners who are conceptualizing a new direction. We’re also talking fairly young people who are just out of school and are in the workforce or aspiring to be in the workforce. We’ve also had people who are in transition. They are recreating their vision or they’ve had a vision that they haven’t been able to get started on and they wanted to get more definition on it.

We’ve had owners of very large companies. We’ve had attorneys who have been practicing for 20-30 years. We’ve had aeronautical engineers. They all came for different reasons. Some of them were very surprising reasons.

A lot of people came for professional purposes but they end up realizing, behind closed doors, it’s all quite personal anyway. Even though they may have planned to do a professional transition board, they ended up adding personal aspects to their board. Because we all take the whole person to work.
