What Insight do Strengths Give to Setting Goals?
Our culture is obsessed with goals. Personal, professional, physical, financial... you name it, goal setting is big business. But why do so many of us set goals that we either can’t or simply don’t attain? Is there a better way to set goals, should we even set goals at all, and what, if anything, might our Strengths do to help us get there?
Today on the podcast, Amy Rollinger and I will give you answers to these questions... well not really, but we will kick around a few ideas that we think may be helpful to you in your own attempts at self-improvement.
We’ll chat about some basic thoughts related to goal setting, and then share some personal examples and stories of how our own understanding of Strengths helps us on this journey.
For simplicity, we’re going to talk about setting goals in the arena of physical fitness because 1.) most people set some sort of goal in this area every year, so we can all relate to it in our own way, and 2.) our physical bodies are our most valuable asset as a leader, so we better take care of it. We’ll also give some examples as it relates to leadership, family life, parenthood, and more.
We also reference a variety of other sources, so if you want to go deeper on any of that, check the links in the show notes or check out our blog post at leadershipvisionconsulting.com.
