Personal & Professional Visioning in Uncertain Times

Personal & Professional Visioning in Uncertain Times
with Jeanette Passons

When development programs disappear, the need for direction doesn’t.

In this interactive NOVA Scribes session, Jeanette Passons shares a flexible, visual framework for personal and professional planning designed for people navigating change, reduced support, or shifting priorities.

Using a large-format visioning map, you’ll move through four phases:

• Assess your current state
• Clarify your why (including what to do less of)
• Imagine who you are in one year
• Identify small, meaningful actions

This is not hustle culture goal-setting.
It’s structured reflection with choice.

Prefer a SWOT? Do that.
Want a word of the year? Go there.
Need brass tacks next steps? You’ll leave with them.

Come ready to think, write, and talk.
Leave with clarity, focus, and a visible next step.

No big “next huge thing” required.

‼️ - This will be IN-PERSON at Brian's home studio in Franklin Farm in Herndon, VA. Meetup isn't letting me include the exact address in the location. When you register, you'll get a pop up with the exact address.

Jeanette is a serial doodler and recovering doom-scroller, who likes long walks in the woods. Middle age has gifted her with a greenish thumb (formerly black) and a yearning to identify bird calls. Professionally, she is a graphic recorder, facilitator, coach, and now a graphic designer (a career goal 30 years in the making!). She has worked in the federal government for 26 years and believes public service rocks.

This session was inspired by her own experience navigating career transition during a time of uncertainty, and by conversations with others seeking different paths to clarity. For this session, she has brought together a range of reflective tools to support individualized exploration. Think of it as "choose-your-own-adventure" visioning.
