On Thursday June 1, 2023 Sharon Currier, one of our coaches, facilitated our Roundtable, “Set and Follow Through on Goals.”

Here are just some of the nuggets from today’s discussion:

  • Goals are a heart thing. They reflect desire.
  • A goal is the desired result. It’s the end of the sentence, “I will…”
  • Goals are the vision of a future state. They are “dreams with deadlines.”
  • Goals reflect purpose.
  • You need to know your purpose to set your goals.
  • Doing things is good. Knowing the why behind the doing is what’s important.
  • Goals the What—the future state.
  • Objectives are the How—the actions to achieve that state.
  • Tasks are the smaller steps, the daily or weekly pieces of objectives.
  • Goals assist with prioritization.
  • Goals provide motivation.
  • There is a direct correlation between setting goals and achieving success.
  • A SWOT analysis can help you move from the what to the how.
  • Set one to three goals each week. Set one to three goals each day. Direct your attention and energy to those first. The “to-do” list will be longer. You might get to all or most of those items. But the big three will propel you forward.
  • At the end of each day, look back and look ahead to note the progress toward your goal(s).
  • Write down your goals. It makes a difference!
  • Be accountable to someone.
  • Celebrate your successes.

This list doesn’t capture all of day’s discussion. However, perhaps one or two of these nuggets will resonate with you.
