Do You See What I See?

These lyrics, from a popular Christmas song, resonate with me when working with clients on the VISION for their business. It is not enough for you just to see your business VISION but others need to see it as well. Of course not everyone in the world will see it or even understand it but the people in your business and your target market should definitely see your VISION clearly. All too often, a VISION is not clear to everyone because it lacks clarity. I am guilty myself of enjoying a lot of different things and being unclear in the past about exactly just what I wanted. I was told by one of my coaches, “If you don’t know what you want or what you are doing, where you are going, how in the world do you expect anyone else to?” So, how did I fix this problem? I had to spend some time meditating and thinking about what I wanted the business to look like when it was doing exactly what I wanted it to do. How would I know that we are fulfilling our mission. After much thought and working with a Strategic Planner, Therapeutic Solutions vision became clearer---to have a model of globally replicated occupational therapy services. I can actually see the vision coming to pass in that there are other companies who have modeled their companies after Therapeutic Solutions—I know because I provided consultation and coaching using my model and it worked! The model is not being globally replicated but progress is being made towards this VISION as it is being nationally replicated. As a business consultant and coach with Faison Consulting, my VISION is to be a sought out leader in business coaching and consulting for health and human service professionals. Can I see that happening? Yes, when universities and therapists contact me because they feel that I am leading in this space, I am being sought out. It is a beautiful thing to see a VISION unfolding but the trick is being able to see the VISION before it unfolds? If you can clearly articulate it in a way that others can also see it, then you get others on board and in my experience, it makes it easier for the VISION to come to pass so your business VISION should help you realize your business VISION.
