This workshop presents an accessible framework for understanding sketching to help communication, understanding, and problem solving -- particularly during a design process that includes multiple roles (that don't always speak the same language).
I propose, not only that sketching helps bridge gaps in communication and get to a deeper level of understanding, but also that every kind of sketching activity falls into one of three categories; thinking, talking, and showing.
In this workshop, for each type of sketching we cover:
- Who it helps
- What it is
- When it can help
- Why you don't need to "know how to draw" to use it
- How to be prepared to use it
You don’t even need to know how to “draw” to learn and apply the methods covered here. After attending this session you will be more comfortable with and better prepared to recognize opportunities where sketching can be used to increase communication and understanding with clients, stakeholders, coworkers, as well as all by yourself, as you work through problems and come up with solutions.

Guided Imagery is experiencing a radical shift as our bio-ecological living systems embrace expanded consciousness,healing consciousness and our access to creative intelligence.
This is a new offering deepening the healing journey of deep guided imagery.
This is the 2nd in a series of toolkit exploring a new visual healing vocabulary through the elements of Air, Earth, Water and Fire, for healers , care givers and those seeking self care management
A writer selects words and shapes them in the same way that an artist mixes particular hues of paint and applies them to a canvas using brush strokes. Writer’s effect is the powerful feeling that writers intend to inspire in their readers, through the use of special words or expressions or some unique patterns of writing. Writers commonly create effect through the use of the following techniques:
- Imagery
- Power/Powerful/Strong words
- Figurative language
- Miscellaneous methods (arrangement of letters and words, shapes of letters, etc.)
Healing through art explorations is a presentation I made for The Association for Spirituality in Mental Health at The Royal Hospital in Ottawa. It is the story of my personal journey to holistic health through various art modalities, namely painting with mindfulness.
Distrusted leaders lose their glue to bind people around them.
This presentation offers twelve simile for likening leaders rusty scissors, broken glass bottles, broken eggs, and more.
Broken leaders are not broke in money as much as they are broken with distancing them from followers, from building confidence, from seeing the forest and other forms of poverty as is explained in this presentation.
Broken leaders are like repelling magnets repelling each other. Such leaders become repellents rather than attractants.
The post offers quotes on what those leaders are like.
This e-book is mostly a collection of creative metaphors that I published n LinkedIn. Most of these metaphors are nature-based hoping this would make them living metaphors and also to find a thread of commonality among all the metaphors.
I hope the readers of this book to enjoy reading it. I warmly welcome comments from the readers.

Fish pond metaphor complexity of managementAli Anani, PhD
The shrinking of the world presents new challenges. These challenges may be approximated by the metaphor of fish living in the ocean and transferring them to a fish pond. New challenges emerges. This e-book discusses these challenges and derives managerial and leadership lessons for us to ponder on. One challenge that may be added to the ideas in the book is the challenge of bringing opposites near to each other, which lead to new combined words of opposites such as chaordic and frenemy. Our world complexity needs powerful metaphors to visualize it.
Writing is a responsibility. An author must have a purpose why h/s writes. If I write for to gain the admiration of readers then I am self-centered. I hope I am not this type. I want to open new opportunities for my readers. I don't mean only financial opportunities. That is my least and last concern. I write to encourage the readers to have wings- one knowledge wing and a human wing so that they may fly to their dreams.
This book is a compilation of my most recent posts on beBee. I consider each one of them as a pendulum. The more buzzes I write, he more pendulums I have and the more likelihood is the initiation of a new wave. Tree leaves are in fact pendulums and the wind moves the pendulums to create the sounds we hear from tree.
I hope my new E-book creates pendulums of ideas to move the wind in our minds and refresh them to take life as a worthy journey. Life is only worthy if what we do is of benefit to others. It is with this hope that I am publishing this book.
With my best wishes for your advancement on all fronts
This compilation of few of my buzzes is to me is like drops of water collected together. A buzz is a drop of water and collecting drops of water together may generate new insights. A separate drop of water has no other water to adhere to or cause the formation of a surface tension. If a drop of water is frozen it doesn't produce ice flakes; drops of water do. I want to say that you may enjoy the flakes as this is my driving desire to compile several buzzes into an eBook.
An individual buzz is like a tree and the collection of buzzes in an eBook is the forest. A single tree may not form a canopy; in contrast, many trees may form one. I hope that you see the canopy and enjoy the comfort it offers you.
Scattered roses may produce tiny fragrance. A bundle of roses may produce far greater stronger fragrance. I hope you enjoy the fragrance and to stay away from the thorns.
Imagination beyond imagination is a collection of posts that I published on beBee platform. The collection of posts was motivated by the great feedback of readers. This was evidenced by the number of sharing them, commenting on them and liking them. This feedback prompted me to publish the collection hoping that the readers would find it of relevance.
This book is a compilation of many articles that I contributed to beBee. They represent my thinking while on the edge trying to balance my ideas or for those ideas to rearrange into new ones. The chaos of thinking might lead to the self-organization of thoughts and out of chaos may emerge new thinking.
I wonder how successful I was. No matter what and even if I failed; still I enjoyed the edgy ride. I hope you do too.
Ideas have life cycles; they cycle between different opinions and develop into patterns. This compilation of posts shows how ideas cycle with the warm wind of approval and the coldness of resistance.
This e-book introduces and explores the "bee-flower" as a dynamic metaphor for businesses. So many new ideas surfaced out, which I am sharing with you. This e-book is a compilation of posts on the bee-flower metaphor, which received interests as evidenced by the comments on the individual posts and their wide sharing. These interests prompted me to publish this e-book, hoping that it shall be of interest to the reader.
Scattered Roses
Writing posts is a sweet challenge. It has its ups and downs. More it is like riding waves you go up and thin sink. The challenge of writing is a self-renewing one because writers keep thinking of new ideas that are worthy of writing about.
An author who puts his/her mind in writing sees them as scattered roses. A new post floats and old down get scattered like roses on running water. The current carries them away.
For this reason I care to collect my posts in e-books so that they may be kept and if they get carried they do collectively. An e-book allows their linkages, staying together, seeing the linkages among the posts, their chronological order and how an idea blossoms into another idea. Their linkages become more evident.
I offer my juice of mind free for the interested reader.
I hope you find the juice to your taste
The compilation of minds on one issue is what this presentation is about. I decided to quit writing for LinkedIn and the comments enriched my mind and widened my horizon of thinking. I felt like sharing the inoculation of ideas that lead to reverting my decision
It is not only what you know, who you know. It is more how you entangle your network with your customer network. You need be creative to do that. Invest in your customers so that they may invest with you. Learn from a green metaphor how to achieve these goals
The presentation offers two metaphors to help businesses attract, retain and enhance their customers' loyalty. The cut flowers Vs. silk flowers and baby born Vs. baby dolls enhance our understandings of customers as regards to what delights them and causes pain to them and hence maximize their delight and minimize their pain. This should go a long way in keeping customers and building on their loyalty.

Ananthram wrote to me:
Mark it please; Dr Ali, you said: Refreshing; Tone:
Tune! Tools for lyrics, literary creation; Colour
Canvas:
musical composition - etc!
Now please continue your discussions on these
metaphysical aspects in your narratives!
5. So, writers receive
the same information
(rainbows), but they
have different
capacities to make
them into
Different
shapes
Repeating
shapes
Different clarity of color separation
7. @GramaKeshava Ananthram made the following comment:
@Dr Ali Anani , Ph D
My thoughts took me elsewhere!
Very Good Idea to moot the point with two rainbows!
Gradually unknown to readers and unaware to the author the
arrows from the bows cris cross; create and recreate;
supplementing and complimenting each other to develop into
the brilliantly lit soothing sight on large canvas of the Sky!
Best of the Luck Dr Ali!
8. @GramaKeshava Ananthram made the following comment:
Heart moves Heart when on the love length! Soul connects soul
while on spiritual axis! Thank you: I wish and pray all people on
this planet Earth come together!!!
9. @GramaKeshava Ananthram made the following comment:
Rainbow colour supplement and merge with each other to
produce the third vibrancy and similar Seven hues! What does
this tell us? Mix and mingle the human emotions with each other
person, one and another race and colour!
10. @GramaKeshava Ananthram made the following comment:
Even vegetation too do cross pollination; absolutely necessary!
Human races have thus come together to produce better
progenies! But alas minds and hearts have not yet succeeded!
I keep on and on and on hoping: hoping: hoping-------- Hoping!

Dr. Ali, "Yes, thinking shapes, indeed. That is why training the
mind by reading good contents and practicing what is learned
helps the mind rain more and support the heart feel better.
This combination then bears beautiful rainbows.
And your rainbows are results of your work."
12. Contribution of: GramaKeshava Ananthram
Let us go back to our childhood and neighbourhood days!
Do you remember having danced in the rains getting wet and all drenched and
dripping with broad smiles from ear to ear in spite of the reprimands of the elders,
particularly of Grand Mother's anxious cries!
Do you remember picking up the little hail stones and enjoying sucking the ice
pebbles?
You will get hailstorms of ideas Dr Ali; Go, once again; dance in the rains!
13. Contribution of: Rod King, Ph.D.
I believe that the fundamental language of thinking is in primal shapes and colors.
As I look at the presentation, I was reminded of one of my favorite artists: the
abstract Russian Painter, Wassily Kandinsky. And it's the second time in three
days that I'm reminded of Kandinsky's soul and contribution. The first was a
feature of Kandinsky's art last Friday during the opening ceremony of the Winter
Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia. My second reminder of Kandinsky is your
presentation, "Thinking Shapes and Colors.“
I believe that as in Kandinsky's art, we express our innermost thoughts and
desires through the use of simple shapes and colors.
14. Contribution of: Kim Gosselin
I can only think of how often we, as writers sometimes choose a
favorite set of words to make our "play" with them. We must not
repeat ourselves when writing. Just as a painter strokes his
brush, or even the way God "paints" rainbows in the sky, no
artist's endeavors are quite the same.
18. Contributed by: Karin Hurt
As a writer, I find that I
experience the rainbow of stories
in my life at a deeper level than I
did before I was writing. I look
more deeply at the colors and
shapes, to understand how I may
better draw them so others may
feel and learn.
19. Juao Maya, Your contribution (next slide)
is touching, moving and is of high value.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts
20. Last days have been the hottest days I have ever experienced in my life.
I wake up very early and open doors and windows just to let the fresh
morning breeze in and blow outside the heavy and thick air of the night
before.
I then walk across the garden and gently touch the round, tiny dew drops
still covering the deep-green grass and some few flowerbeds of unknown
shapes.
I look up. The sky is empty and gray. No clouds randomly passing by high
above and my thought runs free: are the long, thin, multi-colored
dracaenas stairways to heaven?
But all I see is a monotonous skyline, shaped by the roof of neighbors’
houses right over my own wall painted into dull concrete color as well.
Till the moment the sun slowly rises like a ball of fire behind the poor view
and everything around me shines.
So I can see all marvelous shapes and colors of my ordinary life. Shapes
and colors which seem God created just for me and a new day begins
again…
I start watering the garden and then I have a little rainbow in my
square-shaped front yard.

We all transition to physical
existence imbued by Spirit with a
unique bounty of gifts.
The richness and blending of the
colors on the palette is fashioned
uniquely as they pass through
those gifts, just as water becomes
tea by passing through the tea
press and dough becomes cookie
by the shape of the extruder.
Same colors; same ingredients...
different gifts; different rainbows.
22. Ice crystals form rainbows.
The quality of ice crystals
then determines the quality
of the rainbow.
We say some ideas are
crystal clear.
So, ideas form rainbows
by deduction.
Ali Anani, PhD
23. Moving one more step:
low quality water doesn't
form crystals or ones that
are distorted.
So, are crude
"idea crystals".
Ali Anani, PhD
24. If a low quality water is cooled to
form crystals in the presence of
music, then much higher quality
crystals are formed.
By extrapolation, if we stay cool
and think in a musical and
relaxing atmosphere better
"Idea crystals" should form.
Ali Anani, PhD

Every moment we stay wasted in lowest level of mundane magic, forgetting
illusion is not THE REALITY.
We tend to take pride in lowest level of crawling! We do not realize we have to
walk and climb the highest peak of the mountain and touch the sky! We gloat in
what we did, over glorifying the simple things the Ants also do, collecting and
hoarding wealth that do belong to all, over lording they are ours!
We pronounce judgment without realizing we stand in the docks

It is never easy to map emotions on
the body. From scientific studies it
resulted that people reported that
happiness and love sparked activity
across nearly the entire body, while
depression had the opposite effect: It
dampened feelings in the arms, legs
and head. Not everybody paints each
emotion in the same way.
30. I ask in slide 29 ‘WHAT IS COLOUR?’ after telling you in
slide 28. Did you get the point? It concerns pigments,
which crystals are. Crystals mined from the earth contain
metaphysical properties reputed to subtly assist us on
subtle levels.
Spectrum field and pigments can help us to
shape our lives.
33. Contribution by: Rod King, PhD
Ali, Great thoughts. I like your analogies because they often
illustrate one-to-one mapping; there's always a strong logic and
parallel between the objects or phenomena being compared.
Also, as an observer of the practice of what Edward Wilson calls
"Consilience", I like how you are seamlessly combining science
and the humanities. I'm therefore looking forward to your
addition of other analogies in the presentation.

Sacred geometry is apparent in the natural realm, depicted by
spiral galaxies, hexagonal snowflakes, and even in the
commonly seen shapes such as the sunflower and the
honeycomb. Light language is a system of sacred geometry,
developed and kept alive by the Mayan and Aztec civilizations.
Starr Fuentes introduced this ancient system to the modern era.

The Rainbow is mentioned at least twice scripturally. We find it
first in the book of Genesis. Finally, it is mentioned is in the book
of Revelation. In the book of Genesis verse 9 chapter 11. It is
referred to as "Bow" that represents a covenant God made with
Noah and all living things This covenant seals the promise that
the earth will never again be destroyed by water, as it previously
was during the days of Noah. Through obedience, Noah found
grace in the eyes of God. Therefore, he survived the flood.

When the Rainbow shows up, it commands attention whether it
shines through the clouds, or positions on different surfaces.
The colors illuminate and are seven in number. Neither the
colors Black or White is listed among them. So far as the
capacity of the human eye to behold, the colors seen are Red,
Orange, yellow, Green, blue, indigo and Violet.

45. Colour has immense power on human mood..
Whilst blue is the world’s most frequently chosen colour (most corporate logos
are blue) mainly signifying calm and stability – other colours have extraordinary
power. Here are just a few….
Green the human eye can distinguish many shades of green (hence why night
vision goggles are green). It relaxes the human nervous system and interestingly –
when Blackfriars Bridge in London was painted green – suicide rates fell by 34%!
Green plant walls and being near greenery is a major productivity booster.
Red is energy, passion and considered lucky/beautiful in Asian culture. Hard
colour to balance’ as many lighter shades are more symbolic of love and success
whereas darker shades may indicate aggression and bloodshed.
Yellow a happy colour that stimulates mental creativity & focus. It can also denote
approachability. In Indian culture it is sacred (particularly in spring). Over
50% of the pencils sold annually in the USA are yellow!
Purple historically a royal colour as it was expensive to produce before William
Henry Perkin discovered mauveine.
Generally seen as opulent and noble
contributed by: Richard J Francis
46. Colour has immense power on human mood..
A range of treatments linked to colour are beginning to be developed – which
alter the state of people’s minds (positive effects are lowered stress, less anxiety
greater clarity and even overcoming physical conditions.
Have you noticed that sometimes a colour does not ‘fit’ with a shape. An item of
clothing, a kitchen implement, a car. This can mean we associate those items
with a particular mood or purpose – and the incorrect colour can disrupt that
mood, association or purpose. Maybe that explains why most Ferrari’s are not
grey, and most mens’ business suits are not pink?
Perhaps we are even hard wired to finding materials in our physical world that
transmit colour through material that symbolise where we are from. Only recently
did I discover that turquoise originated in Turkey – but in ancient Persia it was
used to ward off evil spirits. David Icke became a UK ‘figure of ridicule’ for always
wearing a turquoise coloured suit – but given his life crusade – maybe this is why!

Rainbows combine shape and color.
From my somewhat limited perspective, it appears that
rainbows universally produce similar results in people when
they see a real one.
The characteristics of that product include joy and peace.
There is no confusion in what people feel.
52. Contribution by: Jeff Washburn
Contrast this with the preceding rainstorm.
There can be pleasure and there can be foreboding.
These two oppose one another, and, therefore, confusion exists
during the storm.
No peace exists in the middle of confusion.
53. Contribution by: Jeff Washburn
Other shapes and associated colors that produce good results
include: flowers, mountain lakes, springs, creeks, evergreen
