Vision Board & Goal Setting Workshop The Vision Board & Goal Setting Workshop is designed to empower participants to take control of their personal and professional goals through the powerful tools of vision boards and SMART goal setting. This interactive workshop will guide attendees through visualizing their goals using vision boards, setting clear and achievable objectives using S.M.A.R.T. goals, and harnessing the simple yet transformative power of the One Word concept. Participants will leave with practical strategies to manifest their dreams and maintain focus throughout the year.

The workshop begins with an introduction to vision boards highlighting their benefits then explores the One Word concept derived from the book "One Word That Will Change Your Life" by Dan Britton and Jon Gordon. Participants will go through the 3-step process for selecting their One Word.

Then we will dive into practical goal-setting tips and strategies, emphasizing the SMART criteria—Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound.
