Sharing Our Visions

The focus of this informal gathering "Sharing Our Visions" was to clarify your business or learning plans for the coming year, get feedback from others, and meet other members who share some aspect of your vision. There was also plenty of networking time set aside at this meeting. This program was held at the Common House on Half Moon Hill in Acton, MA and was coordinated by Dori Smith.

Winter is a great time to review your past year ... reflect on how well you met your goals ... review your priorities for the upcoming year ... and refresh your sense of purpose.

If attendees wished, they could do some writing before the meeting. The questions below were given to help focus the discussion.
- What did you learn and/or accomplish last year?
- What would you like to accomplish in the coming year?
- Does your business / learning plan reflect your deepest values?
- What would you like to change about your business or learning plan?
- How can expanding your network of colleagues - for example, networking/collaborating with people in the Underground -- help you meet your goals?
