Personal and Professional Goal Setting

Are you aspiring towards a career promotion? Or perhaps you’re simply looking to improve your general health and wellbeing? No matter your circumstances, setting personal and professional goals for yourself can be highly beneficial to many aspects of your life.

Similar to a how-to guide or travel roadmap, taking the time to identify goals can give you an excellent sense of direction for the future. In fact, simply by setting goals for yourself, you greatly improve your likelihood of achieving them. By setting a challenge or a difficult goal, you can also increase your work performance, motivation, and overall productivity.

This course will provide you with the skills and practical knowledge to set your own personal and professional goals. You will learn various tools and techniques to develop a deeper understanding of goal setting, including the benefits of goals setting for career progression. You will also explore the difference between ‘goals’ and ‘objectives’ and master the art of short-term and long-term goal planning using the SMART goal process.
