5.03 Why you’re probably setting the wrong goals

Send Vikki any questions you'd like answered on the show!

We all talk about goal setting, and the importance of SMART goals, and yet most of us still set goals that don’t work. Maybe we get there in the end, often in unsustainable ways, or maybe we let the goal drift and then set it again with the promise “it’ll be different this time”. In this episode, I’m going to share 10 ways I think we can design better goals, so that we set ourselves up for success. This approach underpins our quarterly goal setting process in The PhD Life Coach membership
