Modern Wisdom from Ancient Times

As children, we are instructed by those we trust most and rely on: our parents, family members, teachers, friends, religions, government, and the media. These often loving instructions and models shape our perspectives of ourselves and the world. They become our frames. They are the glasses we see through without realizing it. But, they are not our frames.

We are limited by these frames unless we learn to see them. These limitations manifest themselves in many different ways, but often, when trying to achieve our highest calling, fulfill our dreams, or find meaning in our lives. Yet, for millennia, we have had tools, that have been all but forgotten about today, that can help us, that can help you.

Dialogues, when facilitated carefully, give you the space needed to think for yourself, to explore, question, develop, and clarify your thoughts, which affords you the ability to see your frames. The best part is, no experience or knowledge is required on your part, to accomplish this.

Change, development, and growth are only possible if we can learn to see our frames because our frames are how we see ourselves and the world. Before we even seem to think, our frames decide for us what is possible and what is not by what they afford or blind us to in our selves and in the world.

Seeing our frames is transformative.

Useful Frames guides organizations by empowering them to gain insights to find the most useful frames that put them into contact with themselves and reality. Organizations and their people develop the ability to identify their frames, to see where they may be falling short, and to work with them in a wholesome and wisdom-oriented manner for the remainder of their lives.
