SMART Goal Setting Workshop

Purpose

Transform vague aspirations into clear, achievable goals using the SMART framework. Create goals that are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound to dramatically increase your success rate.

When to Use

Use this Skill when you need to:

• Set quarterly or annual goals
• Break down big ambitions into action plans
• Create accountability for yourself
• Plan a new project or initiative

Step-by-Step Process

Step 1: Identify Your Aspiration

Start with what you want to achieve.

Ask the user:

• What do you want to accomplish?
• Why is this goal important to you?
• What would achieving this change in your life?
• What has stopped you from achieving this before?
• What timeframe are you thinking?

Output Variable: raw_goal

Step 2: Make It Specific

Transform vague into concrete.

Ask clarifying questions:

• What exactly will you accomplish?
• Who is involved?
• Where will this happen?
• Which requirements and constraints exist?
• What will success look like specifically?

Convert general statements to specific outcomes.

• What would need to be true for success?

Adjust if needed to be challenging but possible.
