Vision Of Greatness Workshop
Visioning Workshops Presented by the Franklin Legacy Fund
The Franklin Legacy Fund offers Visioning Workshops free of cost to help qualifying organizations bring to fruition the dreams they have to make the world a better place. Visioning is an essential first step in launching any new venture -- the process of taking an idea out of the realm of imagination and beginning to make it concrete. The Franklin Legacy Fund team trained in this process at Zingtrain, the educational arm of Zingerman’s Deli in Ann Arbor, Mich., a community of 10 unique businesses, with 700 employees and a projected 60 million dollars in annual revenue. Zingerman’s, which has been featured on the front page of the New York Times for its unique management approach, has been called “the coolest small company in America,” by Inc. Magazine. Its co-founder, Ari Weinzweig , describes the process this way: A vision is the actual destination. It’s a vivid description of what “success” looks and feels like for us—what we are able to achieve, and the effect it has on our staff. The results of practicing visioning for many years have been remarkable on both a professional and personal level. It’s helped us create a success that may not have been possible without the vision. In two three-hour sessions, the Legacy Fund will guide the board and key staff to capture their thoughts, ideas and dreams on paper so they are equipped with something tangible to help guide their next steps, from creating a strategic plan to attracting funders.

I think the process is well-designed and excellent, and the guidance and support from all three of the S's (Susie, Sandra & Susan) was terrific, and far-reaching at many levels. I have shared my vision thoughts with Fran via email. I hope the SpectorDance board members are able to use the tools effectively to empower forward movement of the organization." - Bill Roden |
