Disney-Inspired Dream: Celebration of Imagination

Where Dreams Begin 💫  

September 2025 will forever hold a special place in my heart…

A month where dreams came true, ideas took flight, and imagination turned into impact in the most extraordinary ways!

I’ve always said:

 ❝ Everything starts with an idea… and an idea can change everything ❞

The Celebration of Imagination proved that truth... not just for me, but for the dreamers, doers, and trailblazing clients who joined me. And how getting the ideas out of my head and onto paper changed everything...

The Dream That Grew and Grew...

It began as a simple daydream I called "Project 60"...  my vision to mark a milestone birthday.

What started as one idea to celebrate turning 60, as I doodled this out of my head and onto paper, quickly grew into something much bigger… a year-long, Disney-inspired Celebration of Imagination!

Guided by core values (connection, empowerment and vision) and my mission to help others breathe life into their valuable ideas and showcase their superpowers. Project 60 became living proof that when you combine strategic clarity, a clear vision, and a dream team, even your wildest dreams can come true!

So the seeds were planted in The Land of Possibility and six BIG Ideas grew:

🌱 A Year-Long Celebration of Imagination 

📖 A New Book 

🎉 A Transformative Event 

 🎬 An Animated Film 

📸  An Editorial Photoshoot 

📰 A Global Magazine Cover 

Like my favourite Ladybird story book, The Enormous Turnip, my dream grew and grew... and the magic happened when everyone pulled together

 ❝ When you give yourself permission to dream bigger and create your dream team, the results go far beyond what you first imagined. ❞ - Ann English

Turning Ideas into Reality...

📖 The Book

The Celebration Edition of The Clarity Quest IdeasBook expanded from 50 to 60 Big Ideas, with a brand-new chapter on imagination, VisualDoodle activity to draw your Superpower Self, instructions to create a Pocket Full of Dreams, and a quiz to discover where you belong on the Visual Imagination Scale.

Huge thanks to Jo Spottiswood, The Spark Labs for working her magic so the artwork was ready and the books were printed in time for the launch.

And now the brand-new Celebration Edition of The Clarity Quest IdeasBook (RRP £42), along with the original The ClarityQuest IdeasBook (RRP £36), are available worldwide on Amazon. 

🎉 The Event

The Celebration of Imagination 2025 at Brinkburn St Brewery was so much more than just a book launch - it united clients, collaborators, and friends, inspired everyone to dream bigger and showed that when you to take action on your ideas anything is possible.

Special thanks to Jon Waite, Advertise1 who suggested the venue and was the AV technician for the evening, and to Paul Scurrah, That Branding Company for his amazing creative design and display superpowers!

🎬 The Film 

To express what I do in a way words alone can't, I collaborated with Ashleigh King and her talented production team at Flamingo Heights Podcast Studio to create my new showreel... Hyperphantastic Ann: The Magic of Visual Strategy.

This short film brings Visual Strategy to life through animated VisualDoodles. Inspired by the transformation in The Wizard of Oz iconic film, it begins with black-and-white VisualDoodle images, and bursts into colour as ideas come to life. I love it!

📸 The Photoshoot

For my Female CEO magazine cover feature, commercial videographer and photographer Joel Lowson hired a professional studio for the magazine photoshoot.

Joel produced a series of luminous editorial portraits that captured the essence of who I am.

We then combined our superpowers and I added glowing VisualDoodle lightbulbs - the perfect visual metaphor for ideas. The resulting creative photographs were perfect for the magazine editorial, which shines a light on imagination, clarity and creativity. 

📰 The Magazine

Appearing on the cover of The Female CEO Magazine with a spotlight feature was an absolute dream come true. I was interviewed by Editor-in-Chief Tricia Scott, to share my story and insights with readers worldwide.

The timing felt poetic as Issue 59 was published just one week before my 60th Birthday. With a worldwide readership it helps spread my mission globally, because I'm not ready for retirement... I'm only just getting started! 

Because I loved the way Tricia asked me insightful questions, and my feature in The Female CEO Magazine was published the day after my Celebration event, I asked if she would interview the Dream Makers panel... and Tricia said "Yes!"

Another dream-come-true, and proof that sometimes you just have to ask... we have a saying in the North East: "Shy bairns get nowt!"

Translation: If you're too shy, or don't ask, you will not get what you want.

The Magic as Dreams Come True...

The Celebration of Imagination 2025 overflowed with magical moments...

🎥 Watch the video to see it unfold

💫 I opened the event with the launch of the brand-new Celebration Edition of The Clarity Quest IdeasBook.

💫 Followed by the premiere of Hyperphantastic Ann: The Magic of Visual Strategy showreel to showcase how I help people bring ideas to life.

💫 The Dream Makers panel with Lauren McWilliams, Ashleigh King, Noriko Matsubara and Jennifer Gane, interviewed by Tricia Scott, shared powerful transformation stories of how The Clarity Quest IdeasBook and my group coaching programme helped them realise their dreams.

💫  Sam Osmond inspired everyone with her spotlight session on Creative Journaling, showing how she used several IdeasBooks to develop ideas for Pixie and Bumble's adventures in The Isle of Neverwas.

💫  Guest enjoyed a live VisualDoodle session, illustrating their Superpower Self and writing down key takeaways that would motivate them to take action on their ideas after the event.

💫 The grand finale was the surprise reveal... I tore away a “magic mirror” to unveil the September cover of The Female CEO magazine featuring me. A fun way to close the event and prove that dreams really can come true.

None of this magic happened alone.

Thank you to everyone who played a part... my dream team working behind the scenes both before, during and after the event, the inspiring speakers, and every guest who filled the room with laughter, joy and uplifting energy.

 Zoe Campbell Photography captured the atmosphere perfectly - it certainly was a night to remember!

The Celebration Continues…

This wasn’t just about a birthday, a book, a film, or a magazine cover... it was about celebrating the power of imagination to bring ideas to life and transform lives.

Whether your mind is full of pictures (like mine, with Hyperphantasia) or you imagine without images (Aphantasia), your imagination is your gateway to possibility.

When ideas are nurtured with clarity, creativity, and community, they grow into impact.

That’s why I created The Clarity Quest IdeasBook, a guided journal to turn the ideas you've been saving for “One Day…” into “Day One" action, and it is even more effective when used with my online programme.

 ❝ Become what you imagine, turn "One Day..." into "Day One!" and begin today ❞ - Ann English

What began as my big birthday daydream, grew into Project 60, then blossomed into a year-long Celebration of Imagination, and a new Celebration Edition of IdeasBook - a journey fuelled by creativity, storytelling, and Disney-style magic.

And it doesn’t end here...

💫  The Celebration of Imagination 2025 was such a success, it will now become an annual event - a gathering for dreamers and doers to share their stories and transform imagination into impact.

💫  It was wonderful to see everyone's Superpower Self VisualDoodles, and because so many people have asked, I'll soon be running How to VisualDoodle workshops and masterclasses... look out for them popping up in my store!
