Welcome to your new adventure. Explore, discover, pursue AND achieve your dreams!
This program exists because many of us stop dreaming as we get busy working and managing adult life – but dreaming helps us remember to make time for the people and things we enjoy, like vacations, hobbies and fun! The purpose of this program is to help you explore and identify your goals and dreams and to support you as you move towards accomplishing them through three key elements: dream, act and contribute.
Christy supports our employees and their dreams that are aligned with our values. Stronger individuals make a stronger company. For any questions or support, reach out to [email protected].
DREAM
What are your dreams? Can you define your purpose? Why not kick start your exploration with a video? Want to go deeper? Check out a podcast or use the workbook to dig into the process of understanding your dreams and what drives you.
