About this event

Goal setting – Developing strategic plans and visioning – Inspiring you to action

As we are starting 2023 let’s start setting your goals for the new year. We will look at goal setting for your ideal future which will help to motivate yourself to turn your future vision into reality. Having a clear vision of the future provides a sense of purpose.

We will help you to map out possible future scenarios and key milestone, and actions to get there and we will introduce you to a technique called Visioning, helping you paint a clear picture of the ideal future to give the clarity and focus to get there.
