I am a strong advocate of the Gallup Strengths Finder methodology, viewing strengths as natural talents that can be harnessed for success in countless aspects of life. My introduction to Gallup Strengths Finder came about through Ronald Reeves (He/Him/His) insightful presentation on time management, an event I helped organize and attended while serving as a leader within the Working Families Employee Resource Group at AIG. I am grateful that Ron recommended StrengthsFinder 2.0 book and assessment. The accuracy of my survey results was impressive! My top five strengths as per the assessment are: 1. Restorative: Proficient in identifying and resolving issues, restoring order 2. Deliberative: Prudent in foreseeing challenges and making careful decisions 3. Connectedness: Firm belief in the interconnectedness of all things and the meaningfulness behind events 4. Individualization: Understanding that individuals are uniquely different and a knack for facilitating productive collaboration among them 5. Intellection: Inclined towards introspection and valuing intellectual exchanges January marks the month where I meticulously strategize and establish my goals for the year. This year, I am particularly focused on being deliberate and thorough in aligning my goals with my strengths and talents. How do you approach goal-setting? #cliftonstrengths #goalsetting #talents

Here is the most important lesson I have learned in 2024. Consistency will always win. We all have goals in our lives we are currently striving for... But there is that little piece of self doubt in us that says "is this even possible?" The simple, yet life changing idea is that consistent actions towards your goals will make success inevitable. The challenge then becomes, how can we stay disciplined to continuously take the right actions: 1. Set a routine. 2. Structure your day to fit your schedule. 3. Make it sustainable to avoid burning out. Now is the perfect time to not only think of your goals for 2025, But how you plan on taking action to achieve them. -- If you enjoyed this post, share with a friend and follow Alexander Kamel for more.

It’s almost the end of January and we’re all being bombarded with advice on goal-setting. You know the posts: “Set your goals with me”, “Plan your year,” “Smash 2025!” But let’s be honest sometimes just figuring out where to start can feel overwhelming. I’ve been there, staring at a blank page wondering how to turn my aspirations into something tangible. But I’ve learned that goals aren’t about perfection they’re about consistent progress. This isn’t about doing more; it’s about doing what matters. Let’s break it down together.

Check this before you set a new goal. It not every year you set a new goal. At times it better to Review Your Previous Goal First before setting a new one. Before you rush to set a new goal, pause and reflect on the goals you’ve set before. Did you achieve them? If yes, what helped you succeed? If not, what challenges did you face? Sometimes, it’s not about creating something new but learning from your past efforts. Reviewing your previous goals helps you understand your strengths, identify areas to improve, and avoid repeating the same mistakes. It saves time and gives you clarity about what truly matters. Take a moment to ask yourself: What worked well with my last goal? What stopped me from achieving it? How can I adjust my approach to make progress? By doing this, you’ll create a more solid foundation for future goals. Let me know your view in the comment section

How to set goals you will actually achieve in 2025. (No, it's not by setting SMART goals...) 95% of new year goals and resolutions fail - here's why: ❌ Overambitious ❌ Lack of milestones ❌ No clear plan of action I decided to come up with a new way of setting goals that will work in both your personal and professional life. 👇 Let me know what your goals are for this year. How are you going to structure them to make sure you achieve them?

What is the desired outcome? I’ve shared a few times on here how good decisions can have bad outcomes, and vice-versa, but that only really counts if you know what your desired outcome is. Is a desired outcome essentially the same as a stated goal? I think so, but I’d love to hear your thoughts on that. If they are quite similar, though, that explains my lack of a clear desired outcome. I’ve shared that I’m beginning to shy away from goal-setting, replacing the goals with processes. If I can write consistently, record videos consistently, work out consistently, etc, those areas of my life should continually improve. Do you agree?

The best goals are the ones that help us enjoy the process instead of focusing too much on the outcome. You need both general and specific goals to do that. You need the specific outcome to get you excited (“I’m going to earn a million dollars!”). But you also need the general goal (“I’m going to become better at my work”) to stabilize that specific outcome and keep your self-esteem intact. https://lnkd.in/eRx25_xf

Write down your SMART goals for the areas in your life you are committed to changing. Use the SMART acronym to set goals. Be specific. Your goals should answer the questions of what you want to accomplish and why it is important to you. Make sure it's measurable. Quantify your goal in a way you have control. Don't rely on someone else to measure your success such as receiving a raise. That is outside of your control. Make sure your goal is achievable. Even the loftiest goals can be accomplished. It all starts with a single step. Determine its relevance. Why is this important to you now? Is this goal relevant in your life right now? Time bound means setting a specific deadline for accomplishment. A deadline creates a sense of urgency to motivate us to act.
