On one level, The Envisionary exists to help people and teams think forward, but also on a deeper level, our aim is to help people evolve from a world that has become flooded with distraction, automation, and passive consumption, into becoming active future-makers.
We’re here to break the cycle of conditioning, burnout, and reactivity, and to help people realise they can have purpose and clarity through developing a creative mindset, rather than being consumed by an extraction mindset.
Stay human in an increasingly robotic world
To help drive this change in how we have collectively become reactors rather than thinkers (and settlers over movers), we need more creators, visionaries, and designers of what’s next, and to ensure the next innovations and solutions are led to reconnect us as humans, and to see us grow rather than become stifled.
The Envisionary will teach you how to consciously find and shape your life, your ideas, and your impact – using a blend of psychology, creativity, systems thinking, regeneration models, and future-mapping techniques.
So, whether you’re an individual stuck in a loop, an executive (bored with comfort-traps) seeking deeper vision or purpose, or a team trying to solve future problems – we help you train your visionary muscle each day to stay conscious and to keep moving forward.
Our Vision
Our vision is to help develop a more conscious world where designers and futurists forward-think with intention behind what we’re creating, and who consider what potential effects our creations may have on each other.
We also believe there’s a much better, more evolved way of learning today (one which helps us be more adaptable and future-ready), and the more people who develop a consciously-led creation mindset, the better our world will be to live in.
In a world that changes so fast our minds (and our designed systems) struggle to keep up, so we need to be more conscious about what we consume, how we do so, how it may affect us, and what we can let go. If we don’t we only see our greatest commodities – our limited time and energy – be wasted.
Yet, in many ways many of us are already wasting our precious resources, rather than utilising our mind to be creators.
We may think we have no choice, or may just have become so stuck in a daily societal grind for years (from school to work) that we have forgotten about our greatest asset to create solutions – our mind.
We don’t need to study for years for ‘permission’ to be in a role to solve problems or create solutions. We don’t need to waste hours in pointless meetings. We don’t have to follow outdated systems that seek to take away your soul and your life. We don’t have to live each day like a routine ‘groundhog day’ lived in comfort-led fear – all which gradually see us become less adaptable and generative.
We can become unstuck, as we find there’s so many more flexible ways we can live today less conventionally, so many opportunities to uncover in what we can innovate for our future etc.
We have so much more in us as human beings. That creative spirit we had a children, and which has helped humanity develop so many wonderful solutions and advances in the past – it’s there in all of us.
Our mission is to help bring it out in you.
People spend a fortune seeking ‘schemes’ or coaching in making money here or there – with the focus on seeking comfort and ease, but without considering why their mind isn’t directed with vision and motivation in the first place – which would free their mind to think with ease far better. People chase careers for external validation or status, or try to build lives surrounding by comforts, rather than face the reality of realising much of this is just avoidance from our real selves who don’t know how to truly figure out what we want. People spend more time in their life acting professional or ‘public-fronting’ than being real to themselves and others.
And why do we do this?
Because we’ve become so conditioned to the extraction mindset around us, to survive in any way rather than to truly thrive in a conscious, moral, and soulful way.
This isn’t just in ourselves, but in the way we push business and economy too. The news is always full of haste – to sell, to extract. Stay in that environment for long enough and you become full of haste.
Thankfully, more people are waking up to realise that we don’t have to live or work like this. We can still create economy, but through the creation mindset that seeks to forward-think and solve problems, not extract to force problems or place limitation on each other.
The idea of limitation might seem logical to be profitable in the short term, but ultimately it just breaks systems and trust, and breaks our ability to think more freely to create better solutions.
We intend to do our part in changing this fear-led extraction mindset that ends up stifling so many people with otherwise lost potential, into helping people develop or regenerate themselves into a creation mindset – a mindset that brings incentive to excel our minds, to seek competence, to be adaptable rather than restricted, to become anti-fragile and resilient, and to make our lives count with vision and legacy.
Again, a mindset that seemed so natural as children, and which helped humanity develop so many wonderful solutions in the past.
So, the more of us who can think in that way – with hope, vision, and purpose – the better for us all.
