This morning while I was getting ready for the day, I received a text message that made my week. It was from a former coaching client who said, "Good morning Lindsey! I was just thinking about you and thought I would say hello. I can't believe that I have been at my new employer for a year now. It's amazing the difference it makes to be somewhere where you are valued! I'm still not sure I would have made it through without your mentorship. Hope all is well." I am not a recr...uiter or a career counselor but when I start working with my clients I help them with their top professional goals. While working with this client it was obvious from the beginning that she was in a toxic work environment and horribly unhappy at work so together we worked on finding her next position. Every client is unique and what is important is I meet them where they are and help them accomplish their most pressing goals. I'm so glad she believed in me. #professionalcoaching

Resolutions can be a great jumping off point, BUT if you really want to make some headway in areas that matter to you this yearwhether at the individual, team, or organizational levelgoal planning is the way to go. Goals are highly specific written statements of what is to be accomplished, and should never be confused with New Year’s resolutions. After they are established and clearly defined, they eventually will need to include a time frame for accomplishment and an accur...ate and consistent means of measurement and metrics. We recommend the SMART goal framework. And while most people have heard of SMART goals, our experience shows that even if you know what it is, it’s extremely likely that you’re still not defining them properly when it comes time to lay them out. Check out our new blog post at https://lnkd.in/dGiibnn to learn exactly what that looks like. (and there are some extra expert resources available if you're looking to set some great goals for the year) #goalsetting #smartgoals #goals
