Vision Trip
Change Your Perspective.
Discover Your Purpose.
Experience a Vision Trip
An immersive journey designed to connect high-capacity leaders with the heart of Empowering Change’s mission in South Africa.
More Than a Trip—A Deeper Calling
These transformational experiences go beyond service. They are an invitation to:
-
🤝 Walk alongside visionary nonprofit leaders
-
💛 Spend time with the children we serve
-
🔍 Witness firsthand how the Entrepreneurial Operating System® (EOS®) is bringing structure, hope, and lasting change
It’s a journey of clarity, connection, and purpose. If you’re ready to use your gifts to make a lasting difference—and to be changed in the process—this might be the journey you didn’t know you were waiting for.
What to Expect on a Vision Trip
Our Vision Trips are designed to be more than just meaningful travel—they are transformational experiences that connect your skills, heart, and purpose in powerful new ways.
Your Journey Includes:
-
👧🏾 Engaging with children at Middelburg Care Village
-
🏫 Visiting visionary nonprofits like St. Peter’s Christian College
-
🔄 Seeing EOS® in action, creating sustainable change in communities facing deep systemic challenges
Beyond What You See—What You’ll Discover
One of the most powerful aspects of a Vision Trip is not just what you witness, but what you feel and uncover along the way:
-
🌿 Guided Clarity Workshop: Set in the breathtaking landscapes of South Africa, this reflective session helps you process your experiences, ask big questions, and explore how your life and leadership can serve a greater purpose.
-
💬 Shared Insights with EOS-Minded Leaders: Exchange ideas, explore possibilities, and open yourself to new callings waiting just beneath the surface.
-
👐 A Mindset of Presence: These trips aren’t about arriving with answers—they’re about listening, walking alongside, and being present with those already doing the hard, beautiful work on the ground.
Be Transformed
While you may come seeking to serve, you may find that the people you meet along the way will transform you in return. Whether you’re searching for renewed clarity, deeper meaning, or a personal way to use your gifts for good, this journey will stretch, challenge, and inspire you in ways you can’t anticipate.
Take the leap and be part of something bigger!
