About this course
Goals are absolutely crucial for individuals who want to challenge themselves to complete specific tasks in order to help them achieve something. Without goals, you can end up feeling unmotivated, and that you have little to no control over your life.
Goals help you measure how effectively your time is being spent and help keep you motivated as you measure your progress towards them.
It’s also crucial that any goals you set yourself should be ‘SMART’. This means they should be Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-Bound.
Simply setting a goal such as “Have a good job” isn’t a ‘SMART’ goal, whereas “Become a member of the senior management team by December next year” would be more applicable.
To some, this may all sound a bit daunting. However, you need to know where you want to be in the long run before you can work out what you need to do in the short term to get there.
This course, which is suitable for all levels of employees, covers the importance of setting SMART goals, the best way to set goals, and how/when goals should be reviewed.

good course
This user gave this course a rating of 5/5 stars
like videos and pace
Like video training. like you can start stop and rewind. I hate having to read loads of information. Find it easier with my dyslexia to watch a video course. If reading I tend to switch off and have to go back and try again. Like this way of training it is clear and set at a good learning pace.
makes you think out of the box

Good
It make you think about achieving your goals and how to get there.
it was simple and took the edge off
took the edge off of setting goals not only for yourself but for those you manage as you can work on them together. this is good for all to see then goals would be much more effective, achievable and meaningful
Very well explained
Good
