The Dream Manager

Published by Hyperion

---

All human beings have dreams – things they aspire to have, do, be or see before they die.  But how much time do we spend thinking about them? How much time do we spend planning?.

This workshop connects with the importance of dreams, creates action plans for their attainment, and breeds employee loyalty to the company.

Exercise Overview

1 Lecture (10 minutes)   |   “Structured Dreams”

A recap of the article, plus focused insight into how dreams become reality.

2 Group Discussion (20 minutes)   |    “Making it Real”

In this exercise, we identify, prioritize, schedule and make actionable our dreams.  We choose and plan specific goals, then discuss the benefits of doing so.

3 Solo Exercise (10 minutes)  |   “If not for money…”

Thinking through and discussing all the elements that attract (or dissuade) you from a certain job.  We learn that, while money plays a role, there is far more to our happiness at work than just the size of a paycheque.

4 Wrap Up Discussion (5 minutes)   |   “Day Dreaming”

A discussion on the importance of connecting regularly with your dreams, and creating a plan to do so, individually.
