Power Up the Strength Compass Towards Visionary

SUMMARY The premise of this paper is to investigate the empowerment of visionary, which creates the courage to journey down the path of creating the changes. The use of visualization in leadership coaching inspires and creates the positive energy to lead clients business, career, life and wealth decisions, while feeling full of passion and excitement about the opportunity ahead.
INTRODUCTION Most of our innate talents were untapped. We tend to devote more time to fixing our shortcomings instead of developing our strengths. People have more potential for growing when we invest energy in developing our strengths instead of correcting our deficiencies. The author has developed the Visionary Coaching methodology and spent 100 hours on coaching business leaders, managers, and entrepreneurs working in the Asia Pacific region. The best way to tap the potential of people is to lead them to the unique space where their strengths and their passion match the description of their goals. Several popular neuroscience studies suggest a direct association between value, belief and performance. The belief is when individuals see their best self, will therefore begin to change their inner image. The coach will also support to illustrate the vision of changes. The purpose of this Visionary Coaching study is to test the hypotheses and explore the methodology to unleash the positive energy and inspire clients to focus on maximizing their strengths, leading their goals and visualizing their futuremap to make their dreams come true.

NAVIGATING THE SHIFT TO VISIONARY

The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift
Albert Einstein
VISION is an intuitive image of our desired future you seek to create. Creativity is often defined as the ability to bring into existence new possibilities. Francis P. Cholle wrote in his book Why the best decisions balance reason and instinct, he said, Creativity is the basis for disruptive innovation and continuous re-invention (p. 19). When a coach supports a client to navigate between the shifts from present to their VISIONARY future, it allows clients to visualize where they want go, and what they will be like when reaching their goal. The richer in detail and the visualized image, the goal will become more compelling. Tamara Lowe wrote in her book Get Motivated (2009): Visionaries are persistent, energetic and confident. Creative thinkers who have the ability to craft a vision and get other excited about it this picture should be so vivid that seeing it in your imagination energizes you right now. Visualize the end at the beginning. (p. 222) COACHING HYPHOTHESES This paper investigates how coaching utilizes visualization skills, including meditation, playing games and bird view exercises to help clients envision their pathway, ultimate goals as well as vision. Four hypotheses relating to inspiration and futurity have been developed and tested: H1: Knowing ones best self is the starting point to feel empowered to explore possibilities.
When people feel empowered by their strengths, they will have the courage to step out their comfort zone to embrace the future changes.
H2:
Core values are the essential element in building a Life Plan, which is correlated with the motivation of making changes.
The core values spell out who you are, which are the guiding principles to define the purpose of life and form your vision.
H3:
Visualization and metaphor will generate positive psychology, which can be created by playing game or vision tools.
The field of neuroscience demonstrates the power of emotional intelligence, optimism, and engagement factors, which create a healthy respect for the power of the future.
H4:
Brain, mind and gut alignment provides the resilience we need for making crucial changes.
Synergizing right brains imaginary creativity, left-brains logical thinking, listening to your heart and following your gut will cultivate the process of fulfilling your vision.
VISIONARY COACHING METHODOLOGY This visionary and empowering strengths program starts from Brain Generic Decoding Engineering (BGDE) to analysis clients multiple intelligences, learning styles and their spiritual characters. After potential consultation, the coach initiates the 3 coaching sessions to explore clients potentials by acknowledging and empathizing their uniqueness. The coach uses visualization skills, meditation, Lego bricks play and bird view exercises to transform clients inner gifts into recognized strengths. The coach has investigated the shift from visualizing best self, opening up possibilities,
igniting the passion of vision and envisioning pathways of leading up to the future. BRAIN FUNCTION AND MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES Our human brains are responsible for thinking, kinesthesia, auditory and visual features, which can be divided into 2 segments, the left and the right brain, with 10 sections depending on the brain function. Different arrangements upon these instinctive abilities will illustrate that you have gained different superior fields from others, which will be our strengths. Howard Garners (1943 -) study around multiple intelligences has had a profound impact on thinking and practice in learning. His work has been marked by a desire not to just describe the world but to help to create the conditions to change it. He viewed intelligence as 'the capacity to solve problems or to fashion products that are valued in one or more cultural setting' (Gardner & Hatch, 1989). He formulated a list of personal intelligences, including: Linguistic intelligence, Logical-mathematical intelligence, Music intelligence, Bodily-kinesthetic intelligence, Spatial intelligence, Interpersonal intelligence, Intrapersonal intelligence, Naturalist intelligence and Spiritual intelligence.
BRAIN DECODING AND BIRD TYPE LEADERSHIP Brain Generic Decoding Engineering (BGDE) also known as Dermatoglyphics, which evaluates one's inborn intelligence through biometrics. Skin Patterns on fingers are unique and heavily linked with one's genetic composition, which are in sync with the patterns on ones left and right brain. Ample Dermatoglyphics research and practices have
built scientific evidence in anthropology, genetics, medicine and statistics from 17th century. It helps to find out the relevance between the brain and epidermal ridges on fingerprints. If the fingerprint pattern and the number of TRC (total ridge count) appear to be strong, the area of the brain will also be superior. These in return can point out the inborn potential and multiple intelligence development:
BGDE removes personal subjectivity, which exploring 10 innate multiple intelligences talents, personality characteristics, spiritual characteristics and behavioral tendency; the learning of personality has been categorized into 5 major bird types, with 160 sub-type with different descriptions of such characteristics to summarize leadership profiles.
EMPOWER STRENGTHS COMPASS Strength is the ability to consistently provide high performance, which equal to Talent (a natural way of thinking, feeling of behaving) x Time Investment (for developing skills and building knowledge). Strength = Talent x Time Investment Identifying your inherent talents means recognizing the type of life situations and circumstances that naturally and easily attract your attention and passion. After revealing the potential assessment test, the coach capitalizes on clients inborn gifts and cultivate their strengths by using the analogy of different bird types, including Eagle, Peacock, Parrot, Ostrich and Goose, learnt from Brain Generic Decoding Engineering. In that way, client will discover powerful insights about innate talents they can make to be more effective and see their best self from a birds view, which naturally empowers their Strength Compass to set up their directional goals.
BUILDING THE COACHING AGENDA AND PRINCIPLES The Visionary Coaching have comprised a 6-steps works in: (1) engage their inborn talents and acknowledge their individuality, (2) tap into their unique style, aspirations and characteristics, (3) set the right direction to maximize their strengths, (4) develop vision, explore possibilities and shift perspectives, (5) identify the support and structure they need, and (6) help them develop and activate their visionary plan. There are 5 essential principles, which help client to feel empowered on fulfilling their vision by creating the changes:
Core Principle #1: Inherited Talent Core Principle #2: Focus on Strength Core Principle #3: Possibility and Positivity Core Principle #4: Active Listening (Identify the crossroad) Core Principle #5: Powerful Questioning (Envision the passion)
THE VISIONARY COACHING STRATEGY The processes of envisioning goal and visualizing pathway intend to create a A-ha moment when the clients transform their perspectives and see the possibilities after discovering the area of improving learnt from self-discovery survey. It also serves to illustrate the applicability of a Wheel of Life before Coaching Sessions. The coach asked about clients personal desires, the things clients liked to do and wished they had more time for defining who they want to be as well as their life plan.
LEARNING FROM THE WHEEL OF LIFE Clients in this study are required to rate the elements representing the balance of their lives in the perimeter of the circle - The Wheel of Life, which help clients illustrate their true insights and learn about the perspective on their life. Its a good foundation of exploring the possibilities of creating the dreams. In most cases, it shows a bumpy ride of their life due to the lowest satisfaction of WEALTH and MONEY (average 6.21 score out of 10). Interestingly, none of the clients in this study has the plan to develop the changes on improving their wealth.

THE ALIGNMENT OF HEAD, HEARAT AND GUTS The coaching processes help clients to explore their strengths, personalities, actions plan, inspiration, and accountability they need to excel in order to reach greater levels of success. After that, the coach encourages the conversation happened between their Head, Heart and Gut, and build a strategic alignment after dialogues. Head way: Thinking rationally, evaluating and choosing what you logically think is correct Heart way: Using more feeling, liking, emotion in choice, taking a call on what you feel is good for you Gut way: What would someone, who is fearless, do about this? It is a valuable process for transforming their perspective and leading the changes. The Visionary Coaching applied Visualization and Envisioning skills to align the relationship between Head, Heart and Guts. We found that Gut has the lowest awareness among these three ways. Very often, we heard our clients say: my gut is missing, my gut is not functioning for a long time, or I cannot find my gut which are the major obstacles of commitment to change. The root caused of low awareness of gut normally related to aging mindset, lack of resources, concern for money, less flexibility of time, low intention and motivation, trying not commitment, least priority, low self-confidence and urgency of changes.
THE LEARNING OF VISIONARY COACHING PROGRAM Learning generated from the fusion of art of science - Visionary Coaching: Clients have provided the feedbacks that Dermatoglyphic Multiple Intelligence generated 70-80% reliability on their potentials and personalities compared to the other tests they have learnt before. The 5 different bird types have a high credibility associated with clients leadership style and spiritual characteristics. It also gained a low resistance of visualizing the possibilities from the birds view. Averaged score of different attributes learnt from The Wheel of Life is 7. The participants most satisfied about their family & relationship and least satisfied about their wealth and money. Its good to discover the potential, exploring the strengths and call upon their best self as the start of coaching, which help clients to feel safe in the discussion and easier to open op their imagination. The value of visionary coaching encourages clients to develop what do I believe, what to be worth and create the goal and milestones for changes. Visualization is a technique to creating a motivating view of the future, helping to shift the perceptions to create the aspiration idea, developing future mapping, and prioritizing and the actions. A metaphor, a type of analogy, is a technique based on the tangible and familiar subjects (eg: birds view, Lego plays, 5 senses) can help describe something that is intangible and unfamiliar to
expand and generate new concepts, finding solutions with free flow of ideas under an open mind sharing environment. Meditation is a creative thinking to bring about a feeling of euphoria, which is the powerful tool to create the image of desired future and focus on the end point of journey. Creating a safe space and trust the process of coaching is the successful factor for visionary coaching. Clients feel more comfortable to illustrate the visuals from the artwork of Lego bricks, explain different bird types and vision board, comparing to talk about themselves, their desires or intentions. Once we become aware of who we are then we can take action to create the changes that we want. With each new moment of awareness of who we are and how we think comes an action to follow. Action = Change
