Defining and Achieving Your Goals
Why is it that we set goals or intentions for ourselves that often go unchecked and unfulfilled? Because somewhere in the process of setting the goal we were misaligned with what we truly wanted, focused on what we “should” do, or had no idea how to actually tackle the big dream before it just slips again to the back burner. In this workshop we tackle all of those roadblocks and you will feel ready and inspired to start small steps towards your goal. This is a workshop style presentation with exercises mixed with group discussion.
Key Takeaways:

- Define a key goal aligned with your one-year vision
- Learn how to break down goals into sizable activities you will actually be able to do, and build in accountability for achieving them
