Sue Phipps on her Vision Project

September 24, 2021 by briangruber No Comments

Thanks Sue Phipps for this wonderful review of your experience with Vision Project coaching.

A few months ago my mom passed away.  I was a nurse and had spent much quality time with her, and my father.  When they were gone, I was at a loss.  In my “4th quarter, maybe overtime” I wasn’t sure what my next steps should be.  I knew Brian well, saw how he embodied the tools and guidelines he brought to the Vision Project and saw the growth in my friend who worked with him in her own vision.  It was truly amazing!  I took the plunge, started the process and Brian guided me on my own path. 

Brian was a supportive mentor, helping me through the work, always keeping me focused and on track.  Because of it, I have a clearer vision in my own life and I’m passionate about the choices I’ve made.  The Vision Project gave me the tools, but it is Brian’s skill, kindness, and expertise that showed me how to steer my own course to the life I want.  I’m so grateful and would strongly recommend Brian and The Vision Project highly.

Visioning Client Gets to 20 Million YouTube Subs With Front Page Press

September 19, 2018 by briangruber No Comments

I had the great pleasure of doing a visioning process with the radiant Justyna Stoklosa two years ago. We plotted out a bold future, and this recent press is a small reflection of the brilliant and impressive life journey she has staked out. Koh Phangan seems an unusually good incubator for people seeking something very different out of life. Big hugs from afar.

Here is the New York Post front cover. The Murdoch papers of course use the ‘crazy hippie’ clickbait angle but great exposure.

 

 

Here is Justyna’s Facebook post announcing the press:

“Feeling high” in the New York Post. If you read the Daily Mail article yesterday, this one is on a similar note just in short form (btw the Daily Mail article already has 20K shares in under two days which just blows my mind – big thanks to everyone that reposted it – we love you for sharing our story with the world and we’re sending many good vibes your way! ?❤️) Still, I never thought possible that media as mainstream as The New York Post would pick up the story of our unorthodox lifestyle…

 

And a very nice note from her on Facebook reminiscing about our visioning process:

Justyna Stoklosa Brian, I will never forget your kindness. You proved a great friend in a time of need, a supportive shoulder AND you threw a goodbye party for me driving to the next town just to get my favorite papaya salad.

You visioning plan let me see patterns in my past where relationships got in the way of pursuing my highest excitement and a too-tight bond with my parents kept me from making bold and gutsy lifestyle choices.

You also ‘forced’ me to actually phrase what I want to achieve and that was then ‘no 1 fruitarian female in SE Asia’. Since then I have changed it to ‘no 1 fruitarian in the world’ altho my fiancé always laughs at this ego-driven aim. I am still very ambitious, and that is never going to change as my ‘work’ is my highest excitement and doesnt feel like work. Altho nowadays its more about helping people rather than being number one in anything.

As a side note: our Youtube channel reached 20 million views in its first year of existence. We are invited as guest speakers to all the fruit festivals around the world. We have more ppl wanting to come to our retreats that we will be able to host this year. After the huge media storm of the last few days, a couple of big TV shows have reached out.

All that doesnt matter in the face of finding Simon, the love of my life, my fruitarian fiance, 13 years my junior.

I will always be super grateful for your help and support, Brian, will never forget ?

The Vision Project

August 4, 2013 by briangruber No Comments

maze4The world throws 5,000 commercial messages at you every day and your email box is overflowing. You run hard, and are thoughtful about life and work, but it’s hard to focus on big ideas like purpose and vision. We are fascinated by the process of visioning, how individuals and organizations develop audacious, aspirational visions and make them happen. The Vision Project is founded by long-time entrepreneur, executive and author Brian Gruber, who has made a career of inspiring teams in pursuit of big goals and big ideas.

The Vision Project empowers you to craft, achieve and inspire people around your personal or group vision. We provide the three key components for successful visioning: a great process, seasoned support and rich media for a deeper dive at your own pace.

101visionsWhat makes for a visionary? The word is subjective, and is used liberally.

Here’s my standard: someone who crafted a unique vision, inspired people around it and made it happen, with big, positive impact in the world.

Merriam-Webster describes a visionary as “having or marked by, foresight and imagination,” as in a visionary leader or invention.

I have spent much of my career admiring or working around visionaries, people who have carved out new ground and changed our lives. I’ve interviewed many of them during my work at C-SPAN, FORA.tv and ShowGo.tv. I’ve led teams with big goals and started companies. I’m curious:

What is the process of creation for refining a vision, motivating people with it and executing it?

101 Visions intends to explore that idea, via interviews with 100 people who have successful acted on their visions. I look forward to sharing those interviews with you on our 101Visions YouTube channel and blog. And, when we reach 100, I intend to publish them in a book with a template for the 101st vision: yours.

Subscribe to the blog and the channel. React, critique, challenge and participate. And share your stories. Have one for the blog? Contact me at 101visions@gmail.com.
