Quick Tip - Setting GOALS

Setting GOALS
Mid-year is a wonderful time to assess where you have been, and set goals for the rest of the year. If you decide to set GOALS, please consider the following for getting to where you want to go:

G - Gather
O - Objectives
A - Actions
L - Look
S - Self-assessment

Gather ideas, insight, information and perspective on what you can do and what you want to do. Set an Objective based on your assessment, your results, your time, and your expectations...and then share the objectives with others to get buy-in and support. Take Actions to include what you will do, the reason(s) you'll do it, how you will get the action completed, and with whom the action will take place. Look for purpose and inspiration, look back on history, and ahead to the future, and then look in the mirror for a realistic view of yourself, your capabilities, what you can do (and not simply what you can't) and your accountability. Finally, your Self-assessment is about tracking successes, assessing misses, being raw/vulnerable, and celebrating wins and mourning losses.

When you gather, assess objectives, take actions, look at the situation and results, and self-assess, you will not only set GOALS, you will attain them!
