Focusing on what is important.

Focusing on what is important. Research shows that the meetings of the most successful organizations have 2 positive statements for every one negative.

Interview Your Partner 10minand then switch Have Your Partner Interview You for the NEXT 10min

Identifying Themes In small groups of 6 to eight people Take 3 minutes each to share your partner’s highlights, focus on the great stories, along with inspiring best practices and ideas. Then, as a group, continue to discuss stories and determine factors that contributed to high point experiences.

Identifying Themes Let’s take 20 Min to Share themes and stories with entire group Each small group shares one or two great stories with the whole group – stories that represent the essence of what the small group has been learning. As we talk, we develop themes and make a master list of theme your vision statements

Identifying Themes We will now take the next 15Min to choose winning themes. Please place a dot next to each theme that you feel is closest to you vision for your professional life.

Winning Themes Choose ONE theme that you would like to explore a little further. When I read that theme raise your hand. We will then re-organize into groups based on these themes.

Fun with Winning Themes We will now take the next 15Min to design a way to communicate the statement – “Tell us what it is like to live this vision.” Focus on the positive, think as if the vision were true right now. What would a perfect day be like living this vision?

Define your Vision I challenge you to make the most out of the time we have spent together by writing a personal vision statement which will serve as an image of your dream for the future.

Define your Vision Your vision is a positive statement in which you imagine your dream is happening in your life right now.

Define your Vision Make your vision is a positive image that will inspire or direct positive action. Just as a golfer might imagine or visualize the perfect shot, so our vision statements might help us imagine the optimal way of organizing and conducting our professional lives.

Define your Vision It should capture the imagination and inspire you to stretch further to make the vision for the future expressed by the proposition come true.

Deliver your Vision When I lost weight, I focused my goals into four primary areas. Think Better, Eat Better, Move Better and Live Better. These areas have become the basis of my weight loss system and my book.

Deliver your Vision Segmenting my vision into focus areas helped me to set more attainable “Betterness” goals. I encourage you to define 3 or 4 focus areas that make up your vision

Deliver your Vision To determine your focus areas, it may help to think about these questions, “What is the smallest possible change I can make in my life that would bring me closest to my vision?”

Deliver your Vision “Is there a word or words to describe that particular aspect of your life into which that singular change can be placed?” It may help to refer back to your original themes -
