derelicts. Persistence and determination
are omnipotent . The slogan ‘press on’ has
solved and always will solve the problems
of the human race…”
Calvin Coolidge
OUTCOME

goals

set goals that are consistent with our true

motivation over time.

actions on a daily basis

behaviour towards other people, types of
relationships one seek, attitude towards

pride, job/role satisfaction
GOALS

EFFECTIVE GOAL SETTING

• Breakdown goals into smaller sub-goals


that can be successfully completed,
leading to continual positive outcomes
• Reward yourself and others for successes
on the way to the ultimate goal’s
completion

adapt the action plan when changes occur;
