Audience Feedback on Bose

1 / 12

Bose’s Vision & Goals Workshop was a great way to get my professional and personal goals on paper. These goals were all things that I think about regularly, but the workshop allowed me to create actionable steps that I can take to actually achieve them. This is inspiring because now I feel like everyday, I can do something small to move towards these bigger goals. (see talk report)

Natty Donohue

I’d been avoiding actually writing down my goals and vision for the next few years mostly because of how scary it is to do so. The session helped me get started with itemizing my goals and thinking about the actions I truly need to take to achieve them. I enjoyed the influence of Bose’s energy and personality in making the session interactive. (see talk report)

Creates the environment for you to reconnect and realign with Joy. It asks you to get to know yourself deeply and name what brings YOU joy. By implanting joy at the forefront of goal setting, it shifts your perspective and creates clarity and purpose. Her framework is simple and powerful and something everyone would benefit from.
