Course Description

you need to learn how to set goals--fast? Has your manager asked you if your goals are SMART? If you want to measure and evaluate your progress and make an impact, you are in the right place!
Setting goals seems like it should be one of the easier things to do at work. You are good at your job, so writing down thoughts on what you will tackle in the next 3-6 months should come naturally, right? Too often we set goals that are vague, undefined ideas about what we want to accomplish at work. Without concrete steps to achieve those goals, and without setting measurable metrics, it can be impossible to know if youve reached them.
In this course, you will:
Explore why goal setting is important and why its worth your timeBust myths about goal settingFigure out what MBO, OKR, BHAG, and SMART stand for--and why everyone talks about themDiscover the fundamentals of goal settingMaster the SMART goal setting frameworkIdentify your current top 3-5 goals at work and make them SMARTCreate a realistic plan to meet your newly set goalsUsing a combination of worksheets, downloadable PDFs, checklists, and other resources to help you through this process, by the end of this course, youll have a manageable list of goals and steps to take to reach them.
As an executive coach, I work with executives and their teams to better understand what they are responsible for and how to hold each other accountable. Ive seen first hand the destruction that can be wrought when goals are not concrete, not written down or discussed so that everyone is on the same page and working toward the same objectives. Teams need commonly shared information about what to do, who is taking on each step, and when each step needs to be completed. Setting goals, and motivating others to accomplish them, is not an innate skill. Its one that can be developed, and in this course, thats exactly what were going to do.
Without the ability to set real, actionable goals for yourself and how to measure them and judge whether or not youre reaching them, youll fall short every time. Dont allow that to happen.
So, if youre ready to work out exactly how to get from where you are now to where you want to be at work, then sign up for this course and lets get started!

Yes, sometimes I lack motivation. I need support and a lot of guidance sometimes :)

By Klaus Rrig on 11/8/2020

We were "forced" to do something SMART goal setting without any deeper explanation or guidance. Thanks to this course I can understand better what it is and how it is done. Not sure if my superiors understand. They should do the course as well.

Great course! Very informative!

By Linda Lee on 10/26/2020

Thank you, Leila Bulling Towne, for the extensive and thorough presentation on "Goal Setting at Work: Plan for Success and Reach Your Goals." I enjoyed the course, immensely which is truly the blueprint for success at work and in life. And to begin with the basic question, why goals are important, its' thought provoking and it lends one to begin the journey of self assessment, and to having an understanding of various survival skills or, strategies getting from one point to the next one. --- LL

My goal is to help my agents my firstly set goals for themselves in their work environment everyday, if they set a goal, perhaps that can make or keep them more accountable for what they have to to do.
