Community Futures Westman Presents: 


Did you know that our minds process images 60,000x faster than text? 
80% of how we remember is in pictures, so it makes sense that vision boarding is an extremely effective and creative way to manifest our ultimate dreams. 

Visualization is a very powerful tool to enhance business and entrepreneurial aspirations. 

The day's objectives: 

1. Identifying effective goal setting strategies and techniques based on personality preferences, and prioritizing key areas of focus. Each unique type will be motivated and energized in completely different ways. Jolene will also cover the connection to emotional regulation and motivation. 

2. Prioritizing key areas of focus, common obstacles, solutions and most importantly, action steps; the first part of the workshop will be setting goals using the provided workbooks. SMART goals will be discussed: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Time-bound. 

3. Creating vision boards during the session using provided magazines, images, quotes, boards, stickers, paper, supplies, etc. Participants are also encouraged to bring their own magazines, pictures, and crafting supplies to further customize their boards. 

This creative and energizing workshop will help participants construct and clarify future hopes, goals, and aspirations. 

The neuroscience: 

The vision boarding process activates the reticular activating system in our brains which increases our motivation to ambitiously pursue our ultimate personal and professional goals. Research has found that if you frequently see yourself achieving the goals on your vision board (crossing that finish line, for example), your brain will see that goal as happening also, and it can actually create new neural pathways that can create the actual behaviours needed to achieve that goal. 

"Looking at images on a vision board primes that brain to grasp opportunities that may otherwise have gone unnoticed." - Dr. Tara Stewart, Neuroscientist
