STRATEGIC VISIONS

Identifying a clear and meaningful vision is critical towards personal and organizational success and excellence. A life without a clear vision is a life without a direction, a life full of confusions and contradictions. Similarly, many organizations live from crisis to crisis--rudderless ships in turbulent waters-- with their prospects of success and their very existence at stake.

Then there are people with dreams and aspirations that appear surreal in the backdrop of the hustle of real life, of making ends meet and of the struggle to keep pace with the world which refuses to slow down. They often wonder if their dreams would ever move from the realm of fantasy to reality.

This workshop is designed to give you the fundamental paradigms, tools and the language to address this complex yet important subject. This workshop will not only empower you to envision but also set the ground for making your vision a reality both on a personal and an organizational level.
