About the #WICxWorldRecord Title Attempt

In January 2023, as part of the WICxAnnualSummit, the Women in Cloud (WIC) community will attempt to achieve the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title for the most users in a vision board video hangout, with a goal of creating 500 unique individual “Future You” vision boards during the event, shared via an online album.

The record-setting event will take place on February 1st, 2023 and will be led by Patti Dobrowolski, visual thinker and change activator, and Founder of Up Your Creative Genius. During the three-hour session, Patti will lead participants through the process of defining their “Future You” identity, supporting those in transitional periods of their personal and professional lives in identifying who they want to become.

This immersive experience is ideal for women and allies of all ages looking to change gears in their lives, whether transitioning from high school to college, college to career, employment to self-employment, employment to retirement, or those seeking a change in their career fields.

Our Response: Empowering You To Lead Career & Life Transitions

Defining Personal Identity

Maintaining self-identity is important because it strengthens your character. That is, when we know who we are, have confidence in ourselves and are able to identify our strengths, we emerge as stronger individuals in our personal and professional lives.

Great Reset

The Great Reset Initiative is an economic recovery plan drawn up by the World Economic Forum (WEF) calling on the collective responsibility of global stakeholders to cooperate in simultaneously managing the direct consequences of the COVID-19 crisis to improve the state of the world.

Looking Forward/Hope

 Motivation to lead with intention and transform within us and around us to move forward as a collective.
