.why do people freeze when asked 'what is your goal?' most people know what they want, but how can truly setting a goal result in a simpler path to success?
Here are some goals I have heard as a response to asking the question in coaching groups.
'I want lots of holidays...'
'I WANT success...'
'I WANT TO WORK WITH CHILDREN...'
These are goals, right?
no, these are outcomes. Goals are what move us along on the journey to the final destination.
effective career goals aren't about doing more or chasing a vague idea.
effective career goals are specific. realistic and aligned to the next step in your path towards those outcomes..
very few people have everything figured out up front, but by having momentum to take you to the next step through small and considered changes you figure out the path which leads to having what you want.

Small, intentional actions, every day, gains true momentum.
