SUMMARY:2020 Goal Setters Workshop | Future Females Johannesburg
DESCRIPTION:“A goal properly set is halfway reached.” – Zig Ziglar \nA Harvard Business Study found that the 3% of graduates from their MBA who had their goals written down\, ended up earning ten times as much as the other 97% put together\, just ten years after graduation. \nIt’s easy to say “Ok I’ll write down my goals\, 1…2…3…”\, but do you know how to write your goals\, and what sort of goals you should be setting? Do you know how best to execute those goals\, and put an effective plan in place to manage\, track and adjust your goals? \nWe all know the benefits of goal setting\, however\, in order to truly harness those benefits\, it is imperative that we do the exercise properly. We have decided to organise a facilitated workshop to assist you in setting appropriate goals and creating an effective strategy to achieve those goals. \nThis workshop is applicable to setting personal goals\, and goals for your business!
