In this webinar I try to connect the dots starting from our intrinsic emotional needs all the way up to our collective potential. I arrive at one simple conclusion: the true work of a Social Architect consists of micro-moments of Ghandi and micro-moments of Shackleton.
2013 Episcopal Church in Vermont Annual Convention Session 2Tom Brackett
This is the second PowerPoint presentation that Tom Brackett offered to the Episcopal Church in Vermont, during their Annual Convention in November 2013, at the Cathedral in Burlington.
This is a talk I have successfully given 3x prior for over 120 people, and it's been profound the response I've had. This talk is about the structure of evolution, and self-evolution, in particular.

It contains some solid frameworks for developing more resilient, flexible, and accurate "roadmaps" for decision-making and life-having.
The agenda:
- What is a paradigm? Definitions & Examples
- How are paradigms powerful? How are they limited?
- Paradigm Shifts
- Some Frameworks to Explore
(Re)defining Toy Brands Through Human FundamentalsBRAND AVIATORS
Did you know that toys act as masters of transformation, transition mediators, cosmic manipulators, vehicles for imagination, conscious illusions, psychic integrators, life balancers, outlets for aggression, conflict solvers, primal comforters, islands of happiness, guarantors of youth, rule breakers, revolution instigators, life framers, uncritical companions, objects of care, caregivers, psychological nourishment, silent companions, mind feeders, thought instigators, action generators, tools of development, means of self-assertion, laboratories of the possible, creation triggers, expressions of individuality, personality constructors, writers of our destiny, vital experiments, world reinventors, freedom inducers? Successful toys have the ability to create frenzy, euphoria, exhilaration, exultant joy, gaiety, gladness, and laughter that absorb us completely, intensively, and tumultuously. Understand the deep motives underpinning our toy buying behaviour and build toy brands and narratives that engage people at a profoundly human level.
From a workshop I facilitated at Vizthink 2009 on why stories are more effective than fact based methods at communicating complex ideas and inspiring people to want to change.
(Re)defining Doll Brands Through Human FundamentalsBRAND AVIATORS
This pioneering research redefines the way we market dolls. Artificial segmentations based on personality differences offer weak foundations on which to build brand strategies. To deeply engage us, a brand must have a solid inner architecture deeply rooted in the fundamentals of humanity. Beneath all the phantasmagoria of global marketing communication, lies order and rhythm, the source code of our human behaviour.

A375 Example Taste the taste of the Lord, the taste of the Lord The taste of...franktsao4
It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

2. The way to deal with the challenge of the
media is to be better at understanding it
than anyone else, and to be able to relate
it God’s word.
3. If we can develop our capacity for double
listening, we will avoid the opposite pitfalls
of unfaithfulness and irrelevance, and be
able to speak God’s Word to God’s world
with effectiveness today.

the eye rather than to the ear.

the storyteller intends
them to or not.They teach
the world we create.They
teach the morality we live
by.They teach it much
more effectively than moral
precepts and instructions.
Philip Pullman

13. Traditionally, most philosophical investigation
took place in the universities, and most
spiritual reflection took place in the
churches.
However, in recent years that seems to have
changed. Now, arguably, most philosophical
investigation and spiritual reflection takes
place in the cinema.

18. [Everyone] has a worldview.Whenever any
of us thinks about anything – from a casual
thought (Where did I leave my watch?) to a
profound question (Who am I?) – we are
operating within such a framework. In fact, it
is only the assumption of a worldview –
however basic or simple- that allows us to
think at all.
James Sire
19. A worldview is a commitment, a fundamental
orientation of the heart, that can be expressed
as a story or in a set of presuppositions
(assumptions which may be true, partially true
or entirely false) which we hold (consciously or
subconsciously, consistently or inconsistently)
about the basic constitution of reality, and that
provides the foundation on which we live and
move and have our being.
