Goal-Setting?“Motivational technique based on the concept that the practice of setting specific goals enhances

performance, and that setting difficult goals results in higher performance than setting easier goals.”

Goal­setting is a motivational technique that is used in both

professional and personal settings by driven individuals. 

Although the process may seem simple and straightforward,

setting goals correctly is not as easy as you may think.

Establishing criteria against which success can be measured

gives you an opportunity to not just point yourself towards

success, but to measure whether you're achieving what you're

capable of.

Goal-Setting?

If you’re able to set goals correctly (more on this next slide) and

stick to them, you have something to aim for. 

It has been shown that setting goals helps motivate you towards

those goals, help us stay on track, improve our ability to believe in

ourselves and can help determine what went wrong or right when

the time­period for the goal expires.

Setting goals, and then achieving them can improve self­confidence

and self­esteem, having lasting impacts on your work in the future!

Why Engage In

When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached,don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps.
