Ever wonder why SMART goals seem to fall short of helping you achieve what matters most?
It’s time to think about goals differently! In our “Beyond SMART” workshop, we challenge the conventional wisdom of SMART goals and introduce you to the world of Big Hairy Audacious Goals (BHAG). This 90-minute session stretches your thinking and inspires you to set goals that truly resonate with what matters most.
We’re not just talking about setting goals but about a transformative journey to help you realize what you can achieve. This workshop is an immersive, hands-on experience where collaboration and interactive learning take center stage.
Changing the way we think and write goal statements is the difference between setting ourselves up for failure and creating positive and purposeful intentions.
Consider SMART goals, a format that businesses commonly accept as best practice. But SMART goals don’t bring about results. In a large-scale study published in December of last year, participants who were taught how to use SMART goals reported less success with their New Year’s Resolutions than a comparison group.
But it’s really not that surprising – let’s take SMART goals and analyze just two criteria “Achievable and Realistic.” Those two pieces are redundant, which is why many people have changed “Realistic” to “Relatable or Relevant.” But it still doesn’t make sense – 1) Because if something is to be achievable, it stands to reason that the goal should be realistic/relatable/relevant. And 2) It fails because “Achievable and Realistic” are not enablers of strong action and, dare I say, actually encourage the status quo.
In this workshop, we’ll gather and rethink how we are going to tackle our professional and/or personal goals. Let’s future-proof our goals and build something actionable and positive that stands a chance of success.
In this workshop, we’ll engage in activities and group exercises that help you define your goals and equip you with practical tools and strategies to turn them into reality. It’s a shared journey of discovery where your aspirations meet actionable steps, all in a supportive and collaborative environment.
