Goal Setting

“It is not enough to take steps which may some day lead to a goal: each step must itself be a
goal and a step likewise “Johann Wolfgang de Goethe
“In the absence of clearly defined goals, we become strangely loyal to performing daily acts of trivia” – Author unknown

What would a game of football be like without goals? What would happen if you asked for a train ticket without stating the destination? We all recognise that we need to have goals yet we don’t spend time writing any. Success has a habit of coming to those people who decide exactly what they want, define it clearly and precisely, write down the goal and the action plans to achieve it and work towards the goal with flexibility. Dr. Maxwell Maltz, author of the classic Psycho-Cybernetics, said that human beings have a built-in goal seeking "success mechanism" that is part of the subconscious mind. This success mechanism is constantly searching for ways to help us reach our targets and find answers to our problems. According to Maltz, we work and feel better when our success mechanism is fully engaged going after clear targets. All we have to do to use this mechanism is to give it a target. Without one, our success mechanism lies dormant, or worse, pursues targets we didn't consciously choose. This course provides the opportunity for delegates to learn how to set goals.
