The Vision Board : The Custodian Way

A visual space to shape what comes next.

What is the Vision Board?

The Vision Board is an open visual space where you can explore what matters most to you. Add images, words, and ideas; arrange them freely, revisit them often, and let clarity emerge over time.

There’s no structure to follow. Just a space to think, create, and reflect.

A Space Created With Purpose

A space designed to help you think, express yourself, and feel supported as you shape what comes next.

To Get to Know You Better

The Vision Board helps us understand who you are: what matters to you, what drives you, and what you’re working toward.

To Make You Dream Bigger

It’s an invitation to think beyond limitations and imagine what’s possible; to articulate your hopes, dreams, and aspirations.

To Help Us Support You

By understanding your vision, we can offer guidance, experiences, and support that truly align with where you want to go.

Bring clarity to what matters right now.

The Vision Board helps you put thoughts, feelings, and ideas into images. When words feel hard, visuals make it easier to express what’s important to you right now.

Notice the patterns shaping your thoughts and choices.

Over time, themes begin to emerge. Certain images, moods, or ideas repeat giving you insight into what’s shaping your choices, often without you realizing it.

Give shape to the direction you’re drawn toward.

This isn’t about setting rigid goals. It’s about exploring direction seeing what you’re drawn to and what feels alive, without pressure to define the whole path.

Express who you are when words don’t feel enough.

For many people, images feel safer and more natural than words. The Vision Board creates a space to share who you are and what you want even if you’re not sure how to say it yet.

Navigate change and transition with greater trust.

When things are shifting, the Vision Board helps you reflect on where you’ve been and gently orient toward what’s next without rushing clarity.

Move forward with trust in your next step.

By returning to this practice year after year, you create a record of how your vision evolves. Seeing that growth builds trust in yourself and in whatever comes next.

The Vision Board process is a nice way to pause and reflect on the previous year and all of the good that came of it. When you can look back and notice that you’ve achieved, worked on or kept to the promises you set a year ago it is very rewarding. Being able to understand what is important looking forward it really helpful for being deliberate and intentional with your actions.

— Tommy Jarrod

I find completing the vision board process each year both deeply reflective and energising. It creates the space to look in the rear-view mirror with pride at the direction I’ve been heading, while also intentionally reshaping and redirecting my future state. It’s a process I genuinely look forward to each year, as it brings both clarity and renewed momentum towards my future vision.

— Michael Dawson

Creating a vision board has been a powerful and rewarding experience. It gave me the space to slow down and reflect on what matters most. The process forced me to clarify my values and goals, then bring them to life visually in a way that felt tangible and motivating. Having that clear picture has made decision-making and future planning more consistent, and provides a reference point for the direction I want to move in. Beyond the personal benefits, I also found the experience inspiring by encouraging others to reflect on their own goals and create a vision for themselves.

— Lachlan Stanton

I’ve designed 9 vision boards across the last 9 years. Over the first 5 years my board changed quite considerably as I sought to crystallise the values I stood for and pillars of support I need to surround me. Over the following 4 years, my board has been relatively consistent and reflects who I am, who I need support from (and equally who I need to suppprt) and the goals I want to achieve, both short and long-term. Seeing my board each day helps re-connect me to what is important when life happens!
