Goal Setting Training Course


Introduction

Everyone has something that they want to achieve. These goals can apply to any part of their lives, and can range from simple to complex. Even on a daily basis, people have goals that they want to reach before the day is over. The nature or complexity of these goals do not always dictate their importance, but they all hold value for the individual who originally set them. Goals shape a person and guide them through different aspects of their life throughout their lifetime.

This course will explore goal setting for individuals, focusing on different areas of a person's life where goals can be applied. These include goals pertaining to people's personal relationships, their health and well-being, their finances, their professional and educational development, and for their overall lifetime. The course will also look at the different rules and guidelines involved in effective goal setting, planning, and achievement, as well as the value that goal setting has in society and in life. This will include valuable tools and smart practices that can help you out with your own goals, no matter what they are or what they involve.
