THE OVERVIEW EFFECT

“The Overview Effect is a cognitive shift in awareness reported by some astronauts and cosmonauts during spaceflight … It refers to the experience of seeing firsthand the reality that the Earth is in space, a tiny, fragile ball of life, ‘hanging in the void,’ shielded and nourished by a paper-thin atmosphere. The experience often transforms astronauts’ perspective on the planet and humanity’s place in the universe. Some common aspects of it are feeling of awe for the planet, a profound understanding of the interconnection of all life, and a renewed sense of responsibility for taking care of the environment.” Frank White: The Overview Effect: Space Exploration and Human Evolution (1987/1998/2014

“Bringing the Overview Effect

Down to Earth”

The Overview Experience is a proposed immersive and growing theatre within which the Overview Effect can be demonstrated and experienced by anyone.

We demonstrate and publicize:

Breakthrough Thinking

LESSONS FROM SPACE

     The Overview Effect and Collaborative Innovation offer a new paradigm.

Measurement, performance, and profit are important tools, but your level of consciousness, how people are treating each other, and how they meet their shared interests is what makes a sustainable difference.

This program is for you if:   

  • among the growing network of people building companies based on the idea that business and life are about more than making a profit.., that It’s also about higher purpose.
  • You are facing pressing, important challenges, personally or in your business, that you don’t see how to control, yet you are committed to overcoming.
  • You have an ambition that you really care about — something you really want to go for — your equivalent of ‘landing on the moon‘..,
    but can’t see the way to fulfill?

These are the kinds of concerns that you will resolve in this program.

Why should you listen to us?    Our Promise:  

If you follow the practices learned in this Zoom-based program, you will achieve your most ambitious, imaginative, and noble purposes, for your business and for yourself; your equivalent of ‘landing on the moon’.

Many astronauts experienced a profound shift in perspective from going to space. 

They saw that the borders and boundaries on this planet are artificially created by human beings.  They saw that there are no limits.

Edgar Mitchell: Sixth Man on the Moon

“There was a startling recognition that the nature of the universe was not as I had been taught.  I not only saw the connectedness, I felt it, and  was overwhelmed with the sensation of physically and mentally extending out into the cosmos.”

“You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it. From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch.” 

“The unexpectedness of this sight, its incompatibility with anything we have ever experienced on Earth, elicits a deep emotional response.  Suddenly, you get a feeling you’ve never had before.., that you’re an inhabitant.., of the Earth.”
Cosmonaut Oleg Makarov

   THE EXPERIENCE

For people who share a genuine commitment to “Betterment” for their businesses, 

their customers, themselves, their families, and everyone they touch, THIS IS A 

PRACTICAL PROGRAM, DIRECTED TOWARD YOUR IMMEDIATE AND FUTURE CONCERNS. 

                                                           You will experience:

  • A quantum shift from where you are stuck, thwarted, not realizing your
    dream of the future.
  • A radical expansion of Conversations that Matter and appreciation of
    others’ points of view.
  • Realization of what’s next in your work, life, and leadership that you sense,
    but don’t yet quite see.
  • Decisive movement toward your most ambitious goals.

These results come from applying powerful, uncharacteristic
conversations to your circumstances,such as those described on the following pages: 

There is an Auto Pilot in every person and
every culture — in companies, agencies,
groups, professions, education and healthcare systems, people do the same things over and over, no matter what.  

To disengage a personal or cultural Auto Pilot, you
have to actually
see yourself
from another 

point of view.

Just as Escape Velocity allows astronauts to reach space and 

see the Earth anew, 

it’s also possible to generate 

the extraordinary personal 

awareness and conscious conversations needed to 

break free from the gravity of 

culture, identity and circumstance.

ZERO GRAVITY

Between stimulus and response, there is a space.   

In that space lies our power to choose 

our response, 

growth and freedom.

Viktor Frankl
