Building a Vision for Yourself or Your Organization (WSP 30)
Developing a vision is a courageous act. Making it public can be even more daunting—raising the possibility of skepticism, loss of momentum, or disappointment. Yet with a vision, we are able to inspire the participation of others and to discipline our choice of action. A particular challenge we face is that many of us are trying to develop our vision in relative isolation. This is an interactive seminar with four essential elements: constructive but non-judgmental support, dialogue that helps us connect deeply to our inspiration and purpose, the mentoring of insightful guides, and a framework for strategies and action. First, we will articulate and write down the two parts of any vision: the guiding values and philosophy behind it, and a tangible description of it. Second, we will develop a creative strategy for identifying steps and resources to make it happen. This is a workshop devoted to dreaming boldly and finding the tools to advance your vision, whether it is for yourself, your family, your business, or your organization.
