Staying motivated in your personal and professional life can, at times, be a challenge for anyone, even the most driven and optimistic people. And it’s no surprise that your level of motivation directly affects your learning and academic success. One way to remind yourself of your values, goals, or dreams is to keep them visible.
This assessment allows you to apply your innovation skills by creating and reflecting on your own vision board in which you relate the connections among personal goals, motivations, and actions. This will allow you to demonstrate your creativity and innovation, as well as promote innovative thinking to bring about the changes you desire in your personal and professional life.
