  • Beyond the Board: Building Your 2026 Dream Board Anchored in Purpose with Dr. Maurine Kwende
    Dec 16 2025

    Are you building a dream board for 2026 or just making a pretty collage you’ll forget by March?

    Most people stop at the pictures. But as a leader, your vision needs to be a strategic roadmap, not just an aesthetic.

    In this week’s Empowerment Minutes episode, “Beyond the Board: Building Your 2026 Dream Board Anchored in Purpose,” we explore how to design a vision board rooted in your North Star. When your board is anchored in your Purpose, Values, and Impact, it becomes a powerful leadership tool that keeps you aligned when things get busy.

    Tune in on your favorite podcast platform and start designing a 2026 you can actually see and step into.
