SheIsBrave workshops teach you to set your goals
The purpose of the event or objectives is to educate, empower and teach young people how to create a vision board
SheIsBrave, a non-profit organisation (NPO), hosted the 2020 Vision Board Workshop at Ivory Park Community Hall on January 18.
This is the first empowerment workshop hosted by the NPO. The workshop is a fun and empowering event where one teaches a group of people how to set goals and make a vision board, and how to use it to manifest everything they set to achieve.
The purpose of the event or objectives is to educate, empower and teach young people how to create a vision board that works by firstly getting the definitions and understating the concepts that are aligned together – your purpose, passion, vision, goals and action plan.
Amanda Nomqa, SheIsBrave founder, said the important thing is to note that a yearly vision board is to get to the ultimate vision which one wants to obtain in five years’ time, but as a starting point one could use the vision board as a reminder to get to the ultimate vision.
“The outcome was a positive. We opened the session with an intellectual activity and featured soft skills as they seem to be falling under critical skills to master. Everyone participated bravely and boldly in the activity.
“Then we moved forward to goal-setting and started creating vision boards. Everyone was excited and fired up, as creating a vision board in an environment with people with the same goal helps you achieve.

Kagiso Jiyane, a SheIsBrave member, said to create a vision board you need to first imagine a collage of words and pictures as if they already came true. It’s the best way to activate the law of attraction, which unlocks the potential to work towards attaining your goals.
“Visualisation through vision boards helps you develop a sense of discipline, proactiveness, creativity, and respect time and resources which you will have to use to get a step closer to that goal. It also helps you to stay focused.
“It activates the creative powers of the subconscious mind to come up with ideas to resolve problems, make improvements and implement different solutions to be able to achieve goals when encountering problems.
“It programmes the perceptual filters in your brain to start noticing the available resources in your environment that were always there but you didn’t notice.
“Through the law of attraction, visualisation also magnetises and attracts you to the persons of interest, the resources and the opportunities you need in order to achieve goals,” Jiyane said.
