Hello Careers!

GOAL SETTING

Make sure they’re SMART...

● We all have goals we want to achieve,

but we often do not reach them because
of lack of planning and follow through.

● How many of you have ever made a New

Year’s resolution?

● What was it?

○ Did you manage to keep it?

■ Why? Why not?

Goal Setting

● What are some of your goals?

○ Head to the Jamboard and add some goals

you have.

○ Everyone must add one goal they have.

They can be long-term or short-term goal.

Goal Setting - Jamboard

Word Cloud

What are some of your goals?

In order for something to be a goal:

1. It has to be important to you, personally;
2. It has to be within your power to make it

happen through your own actions;

3. It has to be something you have a

reasonable chance of achieving;

4. It must be clearly defined and have a

specific plan of action.

What Is a Goal?

Types of Goals:

PERSONAL /
FAMILY

Concerning yourself, your family, your
friends, and other people who are
important to you

Add one to the Jamboard

MyBlueprint has the following goal types: Academic, Career, Community,
Education, Extra-Curricular, Family, Financial, Learning Skills, Personal, Physical.
They also have ‘Other.’ These can fall under each of the above categories.

Open Ended

Create 4 goals for yourself, creating one for each category (personal, work, learning & community).

Timelines...

SHORT-TERM
GOALS

Things you want to accomplish next week or next
month or two
●i.e) “do the reading on Wednesday, so I can
write my English paper on the weekend and
get it in on time”

MEDIUM-TERM
GOALS

These are further into the future, maybe 3 months
to a year
●i.e.) “raise my mark in science by 10% on the
next report card: paying attention in class,
doing homework, getting assignments in on
time and studying”

LONG-TERM
GOALS

You set these goals for the next 5-10 years
●e.g.) “go to college and get a certificate in
media arts, because I want to be a graphics
designer” or “get a university degree in
geography, plus teacher training so I can
teach in a high school”

Now that you have come up with some
goals for the 4 types, it is time to rank your
goals.

● Make a list of your top 10 goals on

Hapara - start the worksheet (purple)
called Top 10 Goals.

● Ask a value question:

○ Why is it important and what is the payoff?

Top 10!!!

The goal is clear and you understand your objective. A

specific goal will usually answer the five "W" questions:

●What: What do I want to accomplish

●Why: Specific reasons, purpose or benefits of accomplishing the goal

●Who: Who is involved?

●Where: Identify a location

●Which: Identify requirements and constraints.

(on your goals setting assignment you do NOT have to break down the 5

Ws for your Specific section)

You need to:
● Define expectations.
● Avoid generalities.
● Use verbs to start the sentence.

SPECIFIC

You should be able to measure your progress toward
reaching your goals. A measurable goal will usually
answer questions such as: How much? How many? How
will I know when it is accomplished?

You need to:
● Establish clear definitions to help you measure if

you’re reaching your goal.

● Set up appropriate or common sense checkpoints to

measure progress.

● Quality, quantity, timelines, and cost.

MEASURABLE

Your goals should be realistic and attainable. When you identify
goals that are most important to you, you begin to figure out
ways you can make them come true. An attainable goal will
usually answer the question: How can the goal be
accomplished?

Consider:
●

Challenging goals within reason.
○

Do not make the goals too easy or too difficult to reach.

●

How will you be able to achieve your goal based on your
current position?
○

Where are you now?

○

What trends have you established?

●

Be able to visualize the path.

●

Be sure to consider obstacles you may need to overcome

●

Identify the resources you will need to overcome these
obstacles and achieve your goal.

ACHIEVABLE & ATTAINABLE

You should choose goals that matter. A bank manager's goal to

"Make 50 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches by 2:00 pm" may

be specific, measurable, attainable, and time-bound, but isn’t

very relevant. A relevant goal can answer yes to the

question: Does this seem worthwhile?

Consider:
●

Goals need to be relevant to your life.

●

Am I willing to commit to achieving this goal?

●

Can it be done?

●

Why will you consistently put in your efforts to achieving
this goal?
○

What is your driving force?

●

What’s the payoff that you care about?

REALISTIC & RELEVANT

Your goals should have a time frame or target date. A
time framed goal will usually answer questions such as:
What can I do this year? What can I do before I graduate?

Consider:
● A realistic timeline needs to be set to focus one’s

energy and not to waste time.

● Timelines should be flexible, but they need to be set

so you can monitor your progress.

● They provide a finish line to work towards.

TIMELY

Head to Hapara to open up the assignment(green) - SMART
Goal Assignment.

You need to pick three (3) goals you have,
● one short term (within the next week to two months),
● one medium term (three months to a year) and
● one long term (5-10 years)
For each goal you will outline the different aspects of a SMART
goal (Specific, Measureable, Achievable, Realistic

and Timely). Refer back to these slides often, to ensure
you have covered each category thoroughly.
