The ThoughtGathering™ Approach
Some brilliant people with excellent ideas have difficulty organizing their thoughts. Because sharing concepts requires organization, they struggle to bring their ideas to the rest of the world. These people, simplistically labeled “disorganized,” are often overlooked and their ideas unheard.
Members of this group are often bottom-up thinkers: people whose thinking starts with the details and builds up to the whole. However, without understanding how organization works, these thinkers can feel out of control of their thoughts, experiencing them as swirling in their minds. The pieces of their thinking feel trapped, without sufficient organizational structure to bring them into the world.
Many people - family, friends, colleagues, professionals - want to help these bottom-up thinkers express their ideas, and indeed, these thinkers are typically very motivated to have their thoughts organized and understood. But others’ attempts to manage their thought process feel stifling because others’ ideas of organization do not apply to their way of thinking. Instead, bottom-up thinkers crave an approach to organizing that validates their part-to-whole thought process. They want to structure their ideas, so they can come into the world the as they think about them.
In other words, they want to organize from the bottom up.

The ThoughtGathering™ Course
ThoughtGathering™ Foundations, provides much-needed instruction. It teaches bottom-up thinkers to organize their thoughts in the way their brains think: from part to whole. This innovative methodology encourages course participants to embrace their many thoughts and, much like a sculptor, find their form in them. Specifically, participants are taught to look at the details, see connections, create an organizing principle, check their work, and ensure that the organization of their idea reflects their intended goals. Then, after acquiring the foundational knowledge of this approach and practicing the approach for skill development, participants can start applying organization to their most pressing challenges: sorting their materials, managing their time, and organizing their thoughts. With their ideas now ready to shared, bottom-up thinkers can finally express their authentic selves via a dedicated approach to organizing their thoughts.
