Dear <<First Name>>,
 Goals. We know they're good for us. We've got them rattling around in our heads, yet taking the time to get them down on paper is a daunting task. Indeed, with the constant pivoting and change required of leaders over the last 12 months, planning anything can feel like an empty promise.
At a time like this, I ascribe to something I heard a sales manager quip early in my career, “If the ship misses the harbor, it’s seldom the harbor’s fault.” While I’m not averse to enjoying an occasional spontaneous detour, I confess to feeling grounded when I chart my course, and leave room to tack along the way. Setting goals gives me a vision for where I'm going, a way to gauge progress, and keeps me on track (more or less).
So, rather than holding an abstract idea of your goals in mind this year, I invite you to take 10 minutes and try out our Coach2Growth tool to help you identify and articulate your goals, then maximize the likelihood you'll stick with them this year. You can download the SMART Goals Tool and start planning ways to level up as a leader in 2021. Of course, I’m happy to help you use this tool and to remain accountable should you want to go further.
Be well!

5 Questions to Ask When Setting Goals.

SMART Goal Setting Made Easy
Some people prefer to take each day as it comes and hope for the best. They thrive on the spontaneity of it all, and I respect that fully. Others stay clear of goal setting because they fear the possibility of failure. The gremlin inside their head whispers, “If I don’t set goals, then I don’t have to lament not achieving them.” While others aren’t necessarily opposed to goal setting, they are challenged to find the time to do so. It feels hard and time-consuming and, so, it just never gets done.
For anyone who wants to embrace or improve upon the power of setting goals, here’s a surefire way to make the process easy and SMART [pun intended]. Read on to make setting your SMART Goals for 2021 easy.
