Why study this course

Goal setting is an imperative skill that can be learned. Setting and achieving goals will increase the productivity and confidence in any staff member. The key is to set different types of goals (short, medium, and long-term) that can be achieved as well as "stretch" goals which are used to reward best efforts.

During this training course, participants will learn to overcome procrastination, develop accurate goal setting skills, manage time effectively, become self-motivated, and accomplish important tasks. These skills translate into increased satisfaction in one's professional and personal life.

This course provides knowledge and development skills in creating SMART goals, utilising technology, overcoming procrastination, being self-motivating, managing time, and more. These techniques help you to set accurate goals and to achieve them.

This course is delivered in partnership with PD Training.
