CONNECT CREATE A VISION BOARD

​

You will create a vision board to help make your future goals tangible. You can either use a poster board or create a digital version. Your vision board should include:

    • A combination of images and words to represent your future career goals.
    • A target design with you in the center.
    • An inner ring representing your hopes, dreams, and goals (at least three things).
    • An outer ring representing the strengths and skills you have or expect to develop in the future (at least three strengths or skills).
    • The area around the target representing a vision of what it will look like once you’ve used your strengths and skills to accomplish your goals and dreams (at least three accomplishments).
