Imagination, our starved faculty

Did you know that our collective, as well as individual imagination, is experiencing a drought, blocked by dams, our otherwise functional and creative force, depleting. Whether you’re an Engineer, Member of Government, Teacher, or Freelancer, imagination is the foundation in your day to day operations, as well as occasional upgrades and life changing transformations in all fields and industries.

Imagination is the playfulness, and groundbreaking shifts, it’s conflict resolution, and conjuring up the impossible. Imagination is anything, it is everything, permeating all fields and essentially, it is the water that feeds every idea and project, movement and change.

I have recently attended an online lecture (read: inspiration) from Rob Hopkins, who’s an excellent author, professor, and an “Imagination Expert” (I happily argue). Rob proposed how imagination was the key element that happens to be missing in a multitude of fields, thus he created an Imagination Sundial with Rob Shorter to promote its many elements, and guidance on its cultivation.

Each sub slice can be used as a lens to look through at local and global communities, problems, as a prompt in a discussion with your team in the boardroom or Zoom activators. Have a glance and see which components you can implement into your day.

For a more in depth look at each theme, and a thorough immersion into each thee of the Sundial, take a look at Rob’s website!
