Casting
a vision at CastYourVision.Net is fairly simple, but there
are a few things that you can
do
to help people catch your
vision.
Tip #1
- Think through your
vision very well before
you begin to share it. If
you can't think through
your vision yourself, others
won't be able to think through
it with you!
Tip #2 - A
vision is like an iceberg...there is much more to it than what is seen on the surface.
You've got to discipline
yourself to share just enough
- and yet not too much! Show
your viewers the 'tip' of the
iceberg- and when they are
ready, they'll begin asking
you about all the details!
Just when you think it is short
enough - look at it again and
see if you can shave it down
some more. If you've really
thought through it - you'll
be able to communicate it in
a concise way.
Tip #3 - Remember
- you might be the only person
excited about your vision at
this point. It's hard to believe,
but it is true. As you communicate
your vision, focus on those
points which are the MOST exciting
to you and leave the rest out...for
now! People generally have
to 'warm up' to a vision, which
takes time. Be careful not
to bore viewers with the details.
Tip #4 - Gradually
release your vision to select
viewers. Find 3-5 of your closest
friends or mentors and ask
them to preview your Vision
Site. Give them permission
to provide you with constructive
criticism. They may identify
some areas that need more (or
less) information. Their input
will be invaluable to you.
Sometimes visionaries 'release'
their vision prematurely, which
can often be detrimental to
the vision in the long run.
Be patient, and wait for some
quality feedback from your
closest advisors - they'll
be far more forgiving than
others!
Tip #5 - A vision is
something you see in your mind's
eye - it's something you 'see'
which doesn't yet exist. The
paradox of this is that when
you communicate a vision, other's
aren't looking through the
same lenses you are. You MUST
visually present your vision
to others to be most effective.
You must transfer thoughts
from your mind's eye to pictures
in your listener's eyes. As
you build your Vision Site,
spend time looking for images
that really depict what you
are trying to say. They'll
be worth a thousand words!
