IMAGINATION: WHAT DOES THE OTHER PERSON NEED?
Some of my past blog posts have talked about imagination and the importance of creativity. We create our services, brands, offerings from our constant Imagineering. It’s a valuable tool in creating our brand, finding out our paths and expressing our purpose and missions to the world. We are all excellent at articulating what we “do”. What about what others need?
What others need is why we succeed. Many now call this Servant Leadership. Using our imagination to listen, discover, and create to the needs of others so all can succeed. This is an ancient thought…much like the Golden Rule of empathy, and the Huna (Hawaiian ancient philosophy of living life) belief of “Ike”; we are all connected. Connection and empathy of what other people need is a great foundation for doing business.
Values = Worth
Imagine how your service, product, thinking can uplift others. It’s your values, not your “features” that place the needs of others into your actions. Being empathetic, finding out what others need, this is how your imagination can create meaning for your partners, clients, and your own well-being.
What is your imagination “worth”, what price is attached to asking a customer what they need before they ask for help? As the long running MasterCard campaign states: “priceless”.
Do you show you care?
Do something needed before being asked. Volunteering and finding new creative ways to connect with others and help be the solution to what they need. Imagination makes the world a much better place as you show you are interested in helping others.
Stepping up and writing the memo that considers other’s efforts and ideas, creating the space for others to ask for help and then helping without agenda or condition. This creates respect, trust, and honest collaborations. Imagine that!
Offer
Offer up your thinking, actions, and imagination to find out how you can serve the needs of others. Find the service value in what you offer and create a brand and life that is rock solid because it actually makes the world a better place!
For myself, my imagination shows folks their creativity, their values, services, in clear visual quick sketch communications so they can find those who need their help, teachings, ideas, products. My imagination sparks other’s creative centers, their unique purpose that serves others as they follow their unique paths. Give me a call so I can discover what your visual communications needs are so you can serve more, listen more, create more.
