Get Better Results from Your Goals!
Send us a text We all have great intentions, right? If that’s true, then why do we forget them all the time? So many times when we set goals or implement a new policy or procedure, we get so focused on executing exactly what we’ve planned, and we forget why we decided to do it in the first place. While we like to think that goals and procedures are based on scientific data, specifically chosen to solve the exact problem we had, they’re not. They’re an experiment in a potential solution. They may be an educated experiment, but they’re still a wildly out of control experiment because we can’t control many of the variables. In this episode, we explore how keeping our intent front of mind will help control our uncontrollable experiments in life and at work. The next cohort of the Cornerstone: How Leaders Are Made course starts September 17th! In the 6-week program, you’ll gain an understanding of your strengths, what’s getting in your way, how to best utilize your team, and the next steps for you….all with keeping your faith and values at the core!
