THE A-B-Cs OF OUR FALL SEMESTER
The third part of the program focuses on goals and aspirations . Having provided generational context and , personal strengths context , it is now time to think about what each student wants to accomplish and how they are going to go about it .
It is wonderful to set goals and to have dreams but more often than not , people do not achieve their goals or realize their dreams because they settle on their standards .
“ THE KICKOFF EVENT IS LIKE DRINKING WATER FROM A FIRE HOSE ; IT IS A LOT FOR STUDENTS TO ABSORB said Misseldine . At the end of the session , students receive a formula for success . They are now ready to make the most of year ahead .
Misseldine explains how to achieve goals and bring about substantive changes in your life .
Formula for Success :
1 . We are a team . We are much more effective if we work together . 2 . Work the plan . Where FOCUS goes , ENERGY flows . 3 . Problems are relative . Tackle the one big thing . What is your one big thing ? 4 . Be realistic . Having the right expectations is an important part of the process . 5 . Be accountable . Do what needs to be done in a timely and accurate manner . No excuses .
“ I used to worry about the future and only focus on outcomes . But after hearing what Lee-Anne taught us about self-awareness and understanding our behaviors , I can focus on the present more with breathing .”
- JJ Kim
“ I learned the importance of making a daily plan for yourself so that you can make things clear and organize your time , so that eventually you are more likely to achieve your goal . One of the goals I set was to decrease my overall scoring average , and I came up with ways I think I can achieve it .”
