Description

Everyone knows goal setting matters—we do it in our personal lives, our classrooms, and across our teams. But too often, goal setting is broken. We write goals that sound good but don’t guide action. We set them and forget them. Or we try to hold people accountable to goals they never truly owned in the first place. Instead of driving clarity and motivation, goal setting can lead to frustration and disengagement.

In this elective, we’ll unpack the true purpose of goal setting and what it takes to do it well. Together, we’ll explore common pitfalls and introduce a practical framework for designing goals that actually drive ownership, clarity, and momentum.

You’ll learn how to:

• Design goals that are clear, actionable, and aligned to outcomes

• Build investment so goals feel owned—not assigned

• Launch goal-setting processes that align your team’s focus

• Create systems for follow-up, reflection, and sustained progress

This elective is designed for leaders at all levels who want to make goal setting more meaningful and effective. Through a mix of research-based content, discussion, and real-time application, you’ll leave ready to guide your team through a process that not only sets goals—but sustains them.
