Personal And Career Development Goal Setting
By Linda Geyer
"You're never too old to learn new things..." the saying goes. This still rings true today. When you are looking to get a head in your personal and professional life, there are many goal setting techniques you can do to better yourself. Plan and reach for your goals, exceed expectations and keep raising the bar.
Most people embrace learning as an on-going process of personal development that will be with them for life! Very few people actually act on continued learning with gusto and determination in a planned fashion to determine their success.
Education
A solid goal of education and continued professional development are worthwhile goals to be in pursuit of that will reap great rewards. These rewards may be found in many shapes, forms, and sizes. They may even occur in times when you need them most! An investment in your future will pay great dividends and give you a competitive advantage. You will be able to face and cope with uncertainties and challenges when you have advanced skills.
Many people set goals for continuing education and professional development to enable their lives and careers to progress. Future employers will look for continuing education on resumes and want to know you've gone over and above the "norm" of continuing education and self development. Your goal to further your education will build your self confidence and you will become more valuable even if you decide a self-employment career path. With the challenges and competitiveness of our new economy, fast-paced developments, and demands on the work force, it can be hard to keep up. The best strategy is to keep honing your competitive edge in order to stay one step ahead of the game by setting life goals.
Skill Set
Your goal is to be an asset to potential employers. In order for you to reach your career goals, you can not afford to be without the necessary skills. The business world is moving forward and you do not want to get left behind! Specific skills in specialized work can lead to advancement and promotions more rapidly. Management and leadership skills are always a powerful career goal and useful skill. Understanding and working with the dynamics of people will make your career life more enjoyable.
Goal Setting
Setting and achieving goals are great ways to give structure, purpose, direction, and energy to your efforts. Career and business goals should definitely include some deliberate, formalized continued learning, education, and personal development seminars and workshops. Make this a priority goal as part of the planning for your future success.
Be pro-active instead of a victim of events and circumstance. Set the goal. Make the choice!
Continue to make a difference and strive for excellence. Your personal motivation will go a long way in accomplishing great things. Decide what are your life goals. Pay close attention to your goals to make sure you stay on track.
