Visioning Exercise to Start 2024

One of my favorite visioning exercises to start off the year…

As you begin the year, here's a simple and powerful visioning exercise I practice annually (and sometimes more often).

Instructions: Set a timer for 10 minutes and let yourself go wild on the prompts on the next slide.

Format: Use the medium that comes most natural to you

• If you're a writer, write.
• If you're a talker, fire up your voice memos.
• If you're an artist, draw.
• If you're an interpretive visual dancer, you better werk.

Visioning Exercise

Answer the following prompt as if you were in the future looking back at the current year...

It is Dec 31, 2024, and it’s been a great year... [EXPLAIN WHY]

• What word or phrase captures the essence of the year?
• When you look back at the year, what are you proud of?
• What have you learned?
• What key achievements happened this year?

Simple. Effective. And the time pressure often is a forcing function to get clear about the things that really matter.
