LifeVision Workshops

  • Is your whole life about work?
  • Does “following your bliss” apply to other people and not to you?
  • Have you fallen into a groove that is more comfortable than satisfying?
  • Do you remember what is important to you?

LifeVision for Personal and Professional Planning

Envision’s flagship program, LifeVision, is a whole life planning tool inspired by the Grove Consultants International's Strategic Visioning Process™. Taking stock, visioning, re-prioritizing and goal setting are all part of the LifeVision process. You’ll feel more grounded and refreshed with a renewed sense of purpose and direction. The workshop is designed to help you get focused and find the right road for you.

LifeVision encourages you to draw upon your own life experiences—all in an effort to help you figure out your next move. Whether you’re navigating a transition, focusing on new career options, planning for retirement, starting a new business, or just craving more depth and passion in your life, LifeVision can help you do it successfully.

When you complete the program, you will have a clear vision of:

  • Where you’re going in life,
  • How you will get there,
  • Why you’re headed in that direction

How will you do this? Through building visual maps to see your past and your future with new “eyes.” The maps help you zoom out (for perspective) and zoom into your life (for focus).

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

~Mark Twain

Who Should Take the LifeVision Workshop?

LifeVision is designed to support you with facing major life changes, whether it is in your personal life, or your professional career. LifeVision participants have included young people just getting started in the business world, seasoned professionals contemplating career moves, entrepreneurs on the verge of launching a new product or service, working parents and stay-at-home moms taking stock of their lives and re-focusing on their goals for the future.

How Does the Program Work?

The LifeVision program is a five step process, delivered in a workshop setting or in one-on-one sessions with a counselor or coach. Each LifeVision segment is thoughtfully designed to inspire, stimulate and motivate you. Each are designed to engage multiple senses, so this is not a sit down and listen event. Not only will you engage in silent reflection, creative visualizations and verbal discussions—but you’ll stretch yourself in other creative directions. You will work with your hands to create a visual storyboard of your past accomplishments, your thoughts and feelings about what’s important to you now, catalog your hopes and dreams, and your vision for the future and the steps involved in order to achieve your goals.

Leave your # 2 pencil at home! At first glance you might think you’ve entered an art class, not a professional development workshop. Colorful markers, pens, stickers, magazines and scissors dot each table. As you might expect, you’ll see flip charts, but don’t be surprised when you open your workbook. There you’ll see large-scale maps ready to be personalized by you.

The Power of Visuals

When we’re fully engaged in our lives, we’re talking, thinking, writing, eating, drinking, and using all of our senses to take it in. Our philosophy at Envision is to use as many senses as possible when doing reflection and discovery work. It’s equally important in the action-planning stage as it opens up the door to more possibility and dreaming. A picture is worth a thousand words.

Creating the maps is like taking a metaphorical journey through your life. LifeVision draws metaphors from nature, so the workshop will almost feel like a mental trek across a mountain, and in some places, like climbing a giant sequoia. You will cross personal landscapes and terrains in order to find the right road for your future. Along the way, be prepared for virtual reunions with the influential people in your life, like old teachers, high school football coaches, first loves and your worst boss because they might show up on your Historical Landscape Map!

Tour the Maps

You will be introduced to the power of map building at the beginning of the workshop when you create a pictorial storyboard of your life. Any apprehension about your artistic abilities is quickly dissolved when you don’t see blank pages, but rather, a simple graphic landscape on which you will chronicle your life on a number of different planes.

On other maps, you’ll uncover the values that shape your actions and choices in life. Collect images from magazines and create a collage that reflects your values and principles—all to help you reconnect with what drives you. Be prepared to answer some tough questions about what is really important to you – but know it will be fun too.

You’ll do purposeful visioning work that will motivate you to focus your real hopes and dreams into a compelling vision – create your own business, land a different job, buy a new house, get a social life, write a book-

The workshop wraps-up with the Go Get It Map, a goal-planning process, which helps you outline the steps needed to achieve your goals (aka: your vision). In this module, you’ll have help as you partner with others to develop your project-plan. LifeVision distinguishes itself from other programs by adding this crucial action-planning phase.

Reports from the Road

Recent workshop participants report their perspective of their own future has changed in these ways:

  • “I feel excited, energized and hopeful.” ~C.F
  • “LifeVision has given me the ability to create my own direction. I see what my next steps are ....it is not as big as it was the beginning and now I have a plan!” ~G.C.
  • “I will take charge of my life again.” ~K.O.

Here is what they have said they will do differently as a result of completing the program:

  • “I will protect the “treasures” and areas of my life that are working and never sacrifice them for a job again.” ~L.R.
  • “I will live my life consciously! Aware of how I spend my time and the choices I make.” ~N.R.

Nearly a year after solidifying my own vision, I find I’ve achieved many of the goals I outlined for myself and I am ready to create a new vision.

~L.S.
