I put a poster sized piece of post-it note paper on the dinning room table in May and I asked the members of our family to write down the activities or events they wished to experience during the summer.  Using smaller post-it notes everyone wrote, drew, or created symbols of their dream summer activities.  At the end of the evening we hung it on the wall in our office.  As we have accomplished each one we take the representative post-it down.  We know that due to time, budget, schedules and other contingencies that not all of them would be achievable but it inspires us daily.  It is hard to say we are bored when there are many dynamic ideas sitting on our dream list.


What would this look like if you had your board members, volunteers, and staff post their goals?  It might reveal some unique and surprising opportunities.  It also presents some tremendous insights and group accomplishments.
