Discover the creative skill of vision boarding and how it can work for your career in this practical, fun, and informative workshop.

You may have heard about vision boards – a collage of pictures and words that depict a mixture of goals, plans and ideas. But did you know that they aren’t just for new year’s resolutions? They can actually be a very powerful business tool that can help you connect with your career in multiple ways.

From building on your strengths and mapping out your career prospects; to planning short-term and long-term actions such as training, marketing, products, strategies or campaigns; discover how to create your own career-focused vision board in this workshop. You can join in and create your vision board live, or simply sit back and learn to do it in your own time, the choice is yours!

A coaching workshop with a difference, you’ll first learn what is vision boarding and why you should be doing it with a few examples of how it is utilised in different career sectors, before exploring creative methods for discovering, focusing and setting your own career-focused intentions. Finally, you will get creative, and design your very own vision board to help you achieve your desires! Whether you’re a seasoned artist or completely new to crafting, there will be something for everyone in this workshop – and you’ll come away with a valuable skill that you can utilise going forward, no matter your industry.
