​INSIGHTS FROM NEXT WEEK'S WEBINAR ON GOAL SETTING

​ “If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or things.”

​– Albert Einstein

​“Goals help create a purpose for our lives as they make us understand where we want to be and we come up with clear steps on how to get there. The trouble with not having a goal is that you can spend your life running up and down the field and never score.”

​– Bill Copeland.

​There are various goal setting processes but most of us have embraced the SMART goal setting. This means that goals ought to be Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Time bound.
