Goal Setting at Work: Plan for Success and Reach Your Goals




Goal Setting at Work: Plan for Success and Reach Your Goals

Do 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 you’ve reached them.

In this course, you will:

  • Explore why goal setting is important and why it’s worth your time

  • Bust myths about goal setting

  • Figure out what MBO, OKR, BHAG, and SMART stand for--and why everyone talks about them

  • Discover the fundamentals of goal setting

  • Master the SMART goal setting framework

  • Identify your current top 3-5 goals at work and make them SMART

  • Create a realistic plan to meet your newly set goals

Using a combination of worksheets, downloadable PDFs, checklists, and other resources to help you through this process, by the end of this course, you’ll 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. I’ve 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. It’s one that can be developed, and in this course, that’s exactly what we’re going to do.

Without the ability to set real, actionable goals for yourself and how to measure them and judge whether or not you’re reaching them, you’ll fall short every time. Don’t allow that to happen.

So, if you’re 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 let’s get started!
