Frequently asked
- Can AI-developed software maintain human authenticity in creative work?
- Keira Brinton was initially concerned that AI might dissolve the authenticity of the books she helps authors write. She found that Dan and Vision Software prioritized 'fighting for the authenticity of humanity,' using AI to engine and source the work without losing the human touch. — Keira Brinton
- Is it possible to turn an innate, non-linear creative process into a system?
- Keira Brinton describes how Dan's questioning helped her actualize her systems and 're-engineer her genius.' This process turned 97 pages of raw ideas into a structured software architecture that improved her own teaching and mastermind results. — Keira Brinton
- How does Vision Software handle feature requests for ADHD or creative visionaries?
- Keira noted that as a creative visionary with ADHD, she appreciated how quickly Dan could implement new ideas. For example, when she requested a button to add specific questions to a book arc, the feature was completed almost immediately. — Keira Brinton
- Is a 15-hour immersion more effective than traditional hourly therapy?
- Yes, according to Keira B., the immersion format prevents the 'cutoff' experienced in weekly one-hour sessions. This allowed her to peel back multiple layers of trauma consecutively, resulting in progress she equated to ten years of traditional therapy. — Keira B.
- Can Transformative Listening help with the pressure of being a high-achieving single mother?
- Keira B. found that the practice alleviated the 'tremendous amount of pressure' she felt while managing five children, 15 employees, and hundreds of clients. It provided a space where others could 'hold' her intensity, which she had previously carried alone. — Keira B.
- How do I know if I should try Transformative Listening?
- Keira suggests that if you feel inspired to go, your soul has already agreed to it. She notes that while the experience cannot be fully explained, it must be experienced once for the realization of safety and support to 'come online.' — Keira B.
