How to have a correct mindset when setting an objective
We spent Valentine’s Day learning to set goals with the right attitude. Bianca planned it all and taught us how to have a proper perspective when setting a goal and ensure we reach that objective.
The most critical factors for success are: self-trust, perseverance, setting objective.With objective setting having the biggest score in predicting success.
Objectives are boring
Let’s face it: Objectives are rather dull. When all you want to do is be accessible to every opportunity to escape reality and dream about money, your great idea or business objectives seem like a cage.
We all have wishes. But aren’t wishes just objectives? What if fulfilling a wish is the same as setting an objective?
Where objectives seem dull and without inspiration, wishes seem emotional and with an impact. But in fact, they are the same thing.
How the workshop went down
We talked about all of this in Bianca’s workshop. In a relaxed atmosphere, we separated into three groups, and with pens and paper in hand, we delved deep into the objective-setting journey.
We discussed the Magic Lamp process, SMART objectives, and how to manage our time. We also took into consideration our emotions and how to combat procrastination.
Last but not least, we meditated. We let ourselves experience things differently and see how we could grow and achieve our objectives.
All in all, it was a great experience. We highly recommend trying the SMART objectives and taking some time to reflect on your goals.
How was the workshop – from Bianca’s perspective
As a facilitator, the most exciting part of holding a workshop is the unpredictability you encounter. You have the same material, but each group of people responds differently. The workshop on setting goals was indeed a different perspective, where the focus was not on techniques but on the emotional background that we need to take into account to have the energy to implement our goals, or, as I called them at the workshop, wishes. – Bianca, HR
A word from our colleagues:
The workshop was an exciting exercise that fascinated me. It was a reminder that people need a change in their lives. To progress, they have to live behind monotony and predictability.
I found a relaxing, collegial atmosphere at Soft Skills for Software February 2020 edition, with the theme "Goal setting - a different perspective." I learned new, exciting things about how personal goals can be set and fulfilled in my career and life. My conclusions about this workshop can be drawn in a few keywords: balance, detachment, perseverance, and self-confidence.
The 'Goal setting' workshop was excellent. We have analyzed in detail how to set reliable goals and achieve them. We discussed in an open and relaxing setting the obstacles that can arise when we want to reach our goals. We even did an exercise on how to own our fears and live with them - to overcome them. What I liked most was that we expressed ourselves freely and discussed more ideas. At the end of the workshop, I left the room optimistic, thinking about new objectives and how to meet them, and eager to apply new ideas. And by the way, time flies when you participate in a workshop!
The workshop brought new perspectives on solving problems we observed by providing theoretical notions and practical exercises.
When you take a break from your daily routine, it is easier to analyze your needs and goals. One such opportunity was the course, where we focused on setting goals. Finding out methods tested and used by others to reach the goals is useful. At the end of the period, I already had at least three new destinations and redid the plans to achieve other goals that I had postponed.
This workshop was something new to me. It was beneficial, given that the emphasis was placed on time planning, which is very important, especially in our field of work. Managing time and not letting your negative feelings affect the completion of specific tasks are beneficial at work and in everyday life. I liked this workshop, and I encourage such actions in the future.
