Defining Vision: 

At the core of approaching our vision with confidence lies a clear understanding of what vision truly means.

It is a reflection of where we want to be and what we aspire to achieve. However, Alicia emphasizes that it is essential to align our vision with our innate strengths to ensure sustainable and fulfilling success.
