What You'll Be Doing in this Course:
Designing a BHAG (Big, Hairy, Audacious Goal*)--a very large vision of
what your life could be. Then using backward planning to back yourself
back into the present. Then creating the focus and social support to bring
it to life. You’ll learn to do this first for yourself and then for your
coaching clients. And you’ll walk out with an outline of how to lead a
virtual or in-person workshop for groups of any size as well.
Think About It: Think BIG!
Most of us think far too small. Even the big dreams that we have are
almost always constrained by our hidden blinders. This is especially true
for therapists and other helping professionals who are not used to creating
BHAG’s (big, hairy, audacious goals).(Collins et al, 1999).
Yet
if you think back over your life and remember the most important accomplishments
you've achieved, almost always they began with and were sustained by a
powerful vision. In this workshop, we're going to hold your hand and help
you create a BIG vision for your life.
I often say here: Don't imagine
yourself in five years being on the Oprah Winfrey Show talking about your
book. Instead be Oprah Winfrey.
What You'll Take Away from this Course:
Our atmosphere will be light, reflective, and at times playful. But make
no mistake, we will lead you through an exercise which will allow you
to create a vision of your life five to seven years in the future--a vision
that is anchored by six specific outcome goals.
Then we'll show you exactly
how to do backward planning from those goals, backing yourself back into
the present.
Then you’ll learn how to create the focus and social
support to bring your vision it to life. You’ll learn to do this
first for yourself and then for your coaching clients.
And you’ll walk out with an outline of how to lead a powerful in-person
(or teleconference) workshop on life visioning for groups of any size as
well.
