Find Your Purpose at the Next Chapter Workshop - May 1st

There is one essential thing you need for success. Some call it an elevator speech, others call it a mission or vision statement; no matter what you call it, important transitions hinge on delivering it effectively. Regardless of what stage you're at in life, if you want an opportunity to retool skills, obtain training, or explore new options, join us from 9 a.m. to noon for the third class in the Next Chapter Track 1 workshop series May 1st, 2010 at the Olympia Center on 222 Columbia St. NW, Olympia, WA 98501.

Next Chapter, a program of the Volunteer Center of Lewis, Mason, and Thurston Counties in collaboration with Centerpoint Institute and NonProfit Solutions NW, can help guide you through the process of understanding where you’re at in life and give you the tools to discover where you want to be next. The third workshop in the series, “Purpose,” will help participants develop their own mission statement and ways to deliver it effectively. The class focuses on how to:

· Delve into questions like: "What is a vision statement?" and "What do I need to know in order to write an effective one?"

· Create an actual draft of your own elevator speech/vision statement.

· Practice using your vision statement to communicate with others.
