About the course

“A person grows as their goals grow” (F. Schiller). Goal-setting means identifying, defining and achieving goals. This course explores effective goal-setting, how to break down a goal using SMART, which goal-setting tools to use and when, and why so many goals remain unachieved. It starts with a self-assessment questionnaire, illustrates the theory with examples and ends with practical exercises for setting your own goals.
