96. Kickstart Your Year With a Vision Board for Your Program

Happy National School Counseling Week! While we’ve already talked about ways to celebrate (check out Episode 94 if you missed it), today we’re taking it one step further—by creating a vision board for your school counseling program.

A vision board isn’t just a fun craft project; it’s a powerful tool for goal setting, advocacy, and intentionality in your counseling program. Whether you’re focusing on student engagement, SEL initiatives, or data-driven success, having a visual roadmap can help keep you motivated and on track throughout the year.

📌 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• Why vision boards actually work (hint: neuroscience backs it up!)
• How to create a vision board that aligns with your counseling goals
• What to include—mission statements, key goals, student-centered themes, and data tracking
• The difference between physical vs. digital vision boards (and which one might be best for you)
• How to turn your vision board into action so it’s not just decoration

✨ Ready to Get Started?
