≤ Vision Boarding: Achieve your goals faster by visualizing your future. It will boost your motivation and increase your productivity.

Learn about the importance of affirmations in your daily life. Attendees and instructor Morrison will create vision boards in 2 different ways: using a laptop/iPad or bring your own poster board, pre-cut pictures pertaining to your goal/vision, glue stick and Sharpie.

≤ Communication 101: No matter what season of life you are in (leader, CEO, husband, wife, teacher, etc.), you need to know how to effectively communicate with others. Communication either adds to a relationship or breaks it down. In this course led by Morrison you will learn: the five types of communication; the difference in communication between generations; how to communicate effectively; using the enneagram, disc profile or Myers/Briggs to help you determine “who’s who in the zoo” when communicating in a group.
