Explore the now and shape the future - a practical and inspirational guide to setting goals
- 1. explore the now and shape the future – a practical and inspirational guide to setting goals
- 2. What are goals and why do we need them?
- 3. Imagine yourself as a ship on the ocean of life. Apart from just keeping afloat you need steering and motor (or sails). If you don’t have either, the ocean (your environment, other people) will move you about and you risk ending up wherever. Having good goals should give you both direction (steering) and purpose/motivation (motor), and you are set for the cruise of a lifetime. Take a look at the next slide. Where would you end up without steering and motor?
- 4. is your motor and steering working?
- 5. setting goals are putting legs on your dreams
- 6. destination goals are your destination process goals are the journey towards your destination
- 7. Would you go shopping with a list of items you didn’t want?
- 8. Be sure to express your destination goal in positive terms. It helps you focus on what you want. If you set a negative goal the focus will be towards what you don’t want, because our mind can’t ignore the word “don’t”. Don’t think of a blue elephant with yellow dots ! See what I mean? Ask yourself instead: What do I want? Or if you just can think of what you don’t want: What would I want instead? What would I rather have? The above rule is only true for your destination goals. For process goals, you may have to include negative terms. That is ok.
- 9. Now you know to express your destination goals positively. You also need to be specific, and if your goals are long-term and abstract, it is important that you decide on the evidence that will let you know if you are on track. If you can’t be specific about the goal itself, try to be specific about the result. For process goals you should always be able to specify the following: • How long time will I need to reach this goal? • When will I reach the goal? The above rules are not true for destination goals. A destination is a destination.
- 10. And now ask yourself some questions about values. Aligning your goals with your values is an important step. It will boost your motivation… What is important for me about this? What is it that means something to me here? What do I get out of doing this? Is it meaningful to me?
- 11. What does future sound like?
- 12. set goals then make sure to integrate goals and then the rest will take care of itself … kind of
- 13. What exactly will you see, hear and feel when you reach your goal? How do you measure your progress? There are two important ways: 1. In relation to yourself (which matters the most!) 2. In relation to others (this not so much ;-) but can be applicable) How often will you measure? Make sure also to check your ownership of your goals How much control do you have over your goal? What will you do to reach the goal? What can you offer others so they will help you?
- 14. Think of success as a consequence of meeting your goal - not as the goal itself
- 15. the 7 golden rules for goals Measurable Developing Ecological Specific/ Realistic Proactive/ Challenging Positive Action oriented
- 17. Ecology: The study of the relation of living organisms to each other and their surroundings Are your goals “Ecological”? Every goal we set have consequences for others as well as ourselves. This is true both for our destination and process goals. You can ask yourself some key questions: Is the destination important? Will it improve things? Will other people suffer? What measures will I take to reach my goal and how will it affect others? What is the cost of my goals? What do I need to give up? How will balances in my life/work be impacted when I reach the goal?
- 18. gear up
- 19. Gather your resources… Objects you might need: Books, gear, technology… People: Who can help you reach your goal? Who do you know? Time: How can you create enough time to reach your destination? How do you deal with delays? Role models: Do you anyone who has succeeded already? What can you learn from others? Personal skills: What skills do you have or need to obtain in order to reach your destination? In general: What resources do you need to reach your destination? What resources do you already have? Where do you find the resources you need?
- 20. time to act
- 21. Start with identifying your destination goals 10 years into the future. That’s right, start with the end in mind Identify a couple of areas you want to focus on. The goals then work in synergy Then go five years back and set process goals that you need to reach in order to reach your destination Go back again in time to two years from now and set process goals you need to reach in order to reach your 5-year goals Go back in time and set goals you have to reach next year in order to reach your 2-year goals If you do it right, you will know exactly what to do tomorrow that will take you one step closer to your destination Remember to have fun and to dream!
- 23. 1. Try to describe yourself with a metaphor when working towards your goal. 2. Write a short 1 page story imagining that you have reached your destination. Think of a situation in this future and try to describe it with all senses. What do you see? What do you hear? How do you feel? 3. Share 1 and 2 with each other Something you can try with your team/colleagues/friends/family members
- 24. where do you want to go?
