Details

A CBC expert on goal-setting recently said that most New Year’s resolutions fail - about 90%. Having goals is great, but understanding *why* you want to make that change, and *how* to do it are factors that help make that meaningful and impactful change happen. This session invites you to set goals for yourself not for the year, but for the next 3 months. The larger intention is to help you gain greater clarity regarding: 1. what’s important to you right now, and 2. how you might want to organize your time, energy and attention to support that. Here's how it will look: Before the session: I will send you a document to help you write out your goals (max 3) in preparation for the session. It will include questions about what goals you want to achieve in the next 3 months, why you want this goal, what actions you can take to achieve the goal, what obstacles exist, and how you can get around them. This pre-session work is to help you gain more clarity about what's important to you and what you want for yourself over the next 3 months. It will be a Word document that you keep for yourself but will be used to guide our session together. In our online session together: - We’ll discuss some of the questions that are in the document; I’ll share some example answers. - You'll have some time to review your answers privately in case you want to make any changes. - Depending on the group size, we might have some time in small breakout groups of 2 or 3 so you can share/discuss if you wish. By the end of the session, you will have a more thorough draft of at least one of your goals, including greater clarity on why it’s important, what actions to take, and how to overcome some obstacles. After the goal-setting session: Participants will have the option to join an accountability group that meets virtually approximately every 3-4 weeks (likely on a Monday evening, Vancouver time). These accountability sessions are to share how you are doing with your goals and get group support. The intention is to create an encouraging, supportive judgement-free space. I will use Zoom, so please check back for the Zoom link in the comments. While the Buddytree app says the limit is 7, we can exceed that number on Zoom. Please add any questions in the comments below and hope to see you there!
