The Coaching Game Symbols meanings
We are often asked about the meaning of the visual language of Points of You®. The story behind it is the same story we tell when we explain the concept of the Points of You® tools and methodology. All around us, there is an infinite number of colorful, shiny points of view. We stroll among them daily. Like stars in the sky, they sparkle in and out of sight, mysteriously connecting in ways that form new meanings. It is through them that we interpret the world. These colorful dots cover our products and communications, for they are the ones that we seek when we set on a journey of self-exploration. Ready to become a Certified Business Trainer? On each card of The Coaching Game there is a symbol that represents one of 5 series of cards: Journey, Doing, Opportunities, Difficulty and Just Be. These symbols were created like star maps: points (dots) connected with straight lines in order to form a message of orientation and direction. Just Be
Take a look at the icon of the “Just Be” Series: one dot at the center of a circle. In The Coaching Game, this icon represents our true inner self and also the gap between how we feel inside and how we express our ‘being’ to the world around us. The circled dot is an ancient symbol with many meanings. In ancient Egypt, it represented the sun and the sun god Ra, in Alchemy it was the symbol for gold. To the Pythagoreans it represented potential and in other cultures, it symbolized an eye and an amulet against evil. Journey
Let’s explore the icon of the “Journey” Series: two dots, on two opposite sides of a circle, connected by a vertical line. Ready to become a Certified Business Trainer? Difficulty
The icon of the “Difficulty” Series is constructed of three dots, a circle and an upside-down triangle. In The Coaching Game this icon represents a warning sign of a challenge ahead, something or someone that may pull us downward. In the global language of traffic signs, an inverted triangle is a Yield sign, meaning you must give the right of way to other road users. In Alchemy this symbol represents the element of water (as it flows downward). In many cultures, this icon represents feminine energy, a woman, a womb, a bride. Triangles in general represent a divine connection of three entities such as Father-Son-Holy Spirit / Past-Present-Future / Father-Mother-Child and more. Doing
The icon of the “Doing” Series is made out of a circle with 2 crossing lines and one dot. In The Coaching Game this icon represents the practical aspect of our lives, a target that is focused on a destination and helps us to take action and achieve results. In Astrology it is a symbol for planet Earth (a globe with equator and a meridian). For some native American Indian tribes it the 4 elements of Fire, Air, Water, and Earth emerge from one center of power. In Abstract Algebra it is a sign for the operation of “direct sum”. Opportunities
The icon of the “Opportunities” Series is made out of a circle with five dots connected by a star. In The Coaching Game this icon represents all the possibilities that are spread around us at each given moment. All we have to do is look, see, choose and make the most of them. This symbol, named the pentagram or pentacle, is one of the oldest symbols in the world and can be found in many beliefs and cultures. It is considered to hold different layers of symbolism – from a symbol of life, love, unity and wholeness to a shield of protection against evil forces and demons. It is also considered to represent the 5 elements from which man is made: fire, air, water, earth, and spirit, and a quest for divine knowledge. |
