Are SMART goals stupid?

Do you struggle to stay motivated by SMART goals? 

Well, there's a reason for that. 

SMART goals may not always be the best fit for the human brain and creative thinking.

We'll dig into how to set goals that resonate with your brain's natural way of thinking, to keep you motivated,  and making progress every day.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL KNOW: :

  • How the structure of SMART goals can hinder creative thinking.
  • The need for natural language and simplicity in goal setting.
  • Questions to ask yourself to ensure your goals are aligned with your top priorities.
  • The importance of emotion and motivation in achieving your goals.

Plus, how setting goals for yourself should be DIFFERENT than setting goals for your team!
