Where Are You Going? Goal Setting for Personal & Professional Success

Overview/Description Goal setting gives you long-term vision and short-term motivation.  The process of setting goals allows you to choose where you want to go in your personal life as well as your professional career.  A life without goals is like a road trip without a map.
