Frequently Asked Questions
the dreamprocess
Where dreams become goals for the real world
What is the dreamprocess? The dreamprocess evolved over 20 years as a way for me to envision, articulate and prioritize all sorts of life goals and dreams.
Why am I doing this? I was asked to lead workshops at my place of worship and at my workplace. I opened these workshops to the public when I saw how effectively the dreamprocess helped people identify and prioritize how to improve their lives.
What are key benefits from the dreamprocess? Please refer to the initial sentences at the top of site home page, as these are some of the benefits described by workshop participants in the testimonials section.
How does this apply to my work on sustainability? I have led dreamprocess workshops both at my place of workshop and for the public, where participants ranged from ages 6 to 90-plus years. Many participants used this framework to articulate and clarify their sustainabilty focus, and develop new projects to further those goals. At my company this approach was applied at a worldwide marketing managers offsite. We generated many specific sustainability program ideas, then set up three teams who developed competing proposals to deploy a paperless marketing campaign. The winning team received a cash prize. The campaign was then implemented, saving thousands of dollars for the company.
How do I see applying this in the future? I would like to incoporate this as a core part of my future work, whether offered directly, or as part of the offering of an organization. The dreamprocess can be done using simple materials (paper, scissors, crayons, magazine photos, etc.), and also can be developed as a software-only product, or delivered via some combination. Please contact me at mikebalin@dreamprocess.com if you would like to discuss this in more detail.
