What you'll learn
- Explain why vague intentions rarely change behaviour and what makes a commitment stick
- Write goals that are specific, measurable and time-bound without distorting the work to hit the measure
- Distinguish outcome goals from process goals and set both, controlling what is actually within your control
- Break a goal down to the next physical action and schedule it into a real working week
- Align personal development goals with role requirements and organisational needs using a competency framework or skills matrix
- Build supporting habits, track progress honestly, review on a set cadence and recover from setbacks without abandoning the goal
