Course Overview

“There was so much I could have done, but I never got around to doing it. I never thought I would run out of time.” “Our team is working in six directions and sometimes in circles – frustrating!” “I can’t believe I’ve spent the last two years working on this. It wasn’t important.”  Without meaningful, aligned, and visible goals, people rarely reach their individual or group potential.

This interactive workshop is designed for people who could benefit from formal training on setting goals and holding themselves and others accountable for achieving those ambitions. The program helps participants choose targets that align with their values, articulate goals so they are meaningful and measurable, and put systems in place to ensure goals stay visible. This course works well for those who wish to focus on individual, team, or organizational goals.
