GOSLING CHAPMAN

"I think of myself as a creative person -- I'm always asking other people questions that make them stop and think.  I reflect a lot, but I also work on my own and sometimes, it's so much easier when you have someone to reflect with.

I was intrigued to work with the Idea Navigator.  Far more than a 'game', it is a provocation to think more widely and deeply about what's in front of you.  In my case, I came to the session with a 'big idea' that needed fleshing out.  The Idea Navigator -- and some thoughtful questioning from my coach -- stepped me through a process that enabled me to view my idea from a variety of directions and intentions that helped me to clarify where I’m going and what I can focus on.  We came up with some project ideas that were great, but more importantly, I understood the power at the heart of my idea.  Thank you, Rumi!"
