Goal-setting Strategies for Work-Life Balance and Productivity (Part 1 – Video)

by | Nov 27, 2012 | Coaching Advice, Work-Life Blend

2013 is right around the corner so it’s time to start evaluating our work-life balance success for 2012 and start setting goals for next year – professionally and personally. In this three part video series, and December webinar on the subject, we’ll look at ways to format and set goals that will make them more achievable!

Traditional business goal-setting uses simple, measurable statements like “in 2013 we will increase revenues 10%.” There is nothing wrong with a goal like this since it makes it easy for the organization to determine progress, but it lacks a lot of information necessary to support the people (especially you!) who have to achieve it. It also lacks the kind of information necessary to help you deal with the surprises life will throw in your way. Goals like these in our personal lives have the same limitations.

Watch the video below for more and to receive a quick exercise you can do right now to help you learn to set more successful goals.

Register now for the complimentary webinar next month, on 2013 goal-setting to view the whole video series (15 min).
