Practical Vision

We begin by looking at the Practical Vision - the desired future. The orientation is toward the positive - the situation we want to create. Developing a practical vision is a way to see both the forest and the trees - the big picture and the nitty gritty

The hopes and dreams that make up the practical vision are often hidden under daily workplace complaints and in the secret dreams that people dare not express. Berneath those woes is vision in disguise; just waiting to get into the open.

A good vision is practical, full of specific things you can see as well as taking intuitive leaps into the unknown. The facilitator encourages practical thinking and freedom of the imagination; so the group can express its real hopes and dreams. A great vision will paint a believable picture of the possible future and make the group's heart soar.
