This program guides individuals or entire teams through a reflective process to identify their purpose and connect with their vision, using passion to turn their vision into reality. Focus Your Vision combines—on film—stories from Dewitt Jones’ unique life as a National Geographic photographer with his extraordinary photographs and insightful philosophy, to teach both creativity and vision. He turns everyday occurrences into extraordinary visions. As a trainer, Dr. Elia steers people through a multi-sensory, self-discovery process that allows for creation of a clear, focused vision as well as finding the passion for your vision. Passion is the energy and power that allows us to manifest our vision and drive our technique. Life demands that we have passion; it takes our visions from good, to great, to truly extraordinary.
Dr. Elia covers seven key Focus Your Vision concepts:
Keep your vision focused
Stop, look, and listen
Hold onto the best, let the rest fall away
Trust your intuition
It’s not trespassing to go beyond your own boundaries
Make your vision big enough
Do you have juice in your camera?
