Set Powerful Goals

There is strong scientific support for the idea that setting goals leads to better performance and better well-being. However, not all goals are created equal. The right goals can help you be more persistent, motivated, focused, and resourceful. However, the wrong goals can leave you demotivated, overwhelmed, or wanting to take the easy way out.

In this hands-on class, we’ll present research on what makes a powerful goal and guide learners in setting real goals for themselves at work. They’ll have a chance to get feedback on their goals and apply strategies to increase the likelihood of achieving them.
