Having a vision is critical to embarking on a journey of change. It inspires, motivates, and empowers you.

If you go on a road trip, you don’t just get in the car and drive. You create a realistic map that guides you, giving you a secure sense of direction and control over your path from start to finish. It’s the why – what – and how for building an achievable plan.

Visioning is designing something meaningful that makes you feel expressed, empowered, happy, and successful. It means doing the essential work to understand who you are and what you want, and it means developing a step-by-step strategy to get from where you are to where you want to be.

If you’re looking for a new job, you must know many critical details. What kind of job is it, where it is, the size of the company, the people you’re working for, your mission or purpose, salary, benefits, hours, growth potential, and even dress code?

Visioning work is more significant than just visualizing outer achievements. It’s a process that penetrates your center’s need to see and feel the essence of a new, improved you, emphasizing your skills and values.

Visioning is scientific work that promotes the belief that images of the future lead people to create behaviors and influence choices. Companies do this with their mission statements, services, and products. The same applies to governments and policymakers who set goals and solve problems. You can certainly do this with your ‘self.’

Visioning work is fun, and commitment is crucial. It brings out your potential. Begin by picturing the actual facts of your change:

“Four weeks from today, what concrete results have happened to you? Please write it down and use all of your senses. What do you see? What do you hear? What do you smell, taste, and touch? Who are the people you’re connected to? Where is this place, and what are you doing so this vision will become natural, and you can thrive?”

Here’s an example:

“I’m in Paris, and my office is across the Seine, near the Louvre Museum.

The lobby is busy with people climbing the steps to other floors and taking glass elevators upwards. Brilliant sunlight streams into the entrance, and fresh white calla lilies are in a large frosted glass vase on the circular wooden lobby desk.

My office is on the third floor. The modern reception area has painted sage-colored walls, light grey carpet, and natural wood paneling. I hear soft piano music playing and smell lavender’s gentle, pleasant scent. So French.

I’m wearing a navy blue suit and light blue open-collared shirt. I carry a black leather envelope briefcase and feel deeply happy and hopeful about my fresh start as a CXO – Chief Experience Officer. ”

See what I mean about envisioning the vital details of your future change, happiness, and success?
