I think in 4 Dimensions.
People often come to me when they’ve spent too much time thinking in loops about their next steps and feel they need a different way to look at what’s possible. I don’t arrive with a rigid framework or a 10-step plan. Instead, I bring a method of experimenting with ideas, testing different paths, and playing with possibilities.
Here’s a bit more on what I mean by “4D” thinking:
Time: Future Horizon
I focus on the when. How soon does this need to happen? Are we looking at a short-term move or setting a foundation for something larger? My approach to time is all about how the future unfolds, emphasizing how we want to shape it.Distance: Cognitive Reach
I look at the distance between what you understand and what others understand. This isn’t just about knowledge but the distance someone else needs to travel to connect to your ideas. With familiar ideas, the distance is short; with more complex, nuanced, or original ideas, we have to take them on the journey to familiarity. If they don’t get it, they won’t do it.Breadth: Explorative Range
Curiosity and collaboration drive this dimension. How open and confident are the people you’ll talk to with the unfamiliar or the “different”? Fear can close this range down, often leading people to seek control or certainty. Are you afraid of the future? Are they?Height: Potential
This dimension is the depth of latent possibility—how high we could go, how deeply an idea could resonate, and the transformative impact we could create. Here, we’re looking for untapped opportunities and hidden strengths that, once unlocked, could make a meaningful difference.
This kind of work isn’t linear, and it’s often surprising. Sometimes it brings tears (yes, even for the dudes). But that’s the beauty of thinking in 4D—it allows us to explore your potential from every angle, helping you step into a future you’re excited to create.
