Dr. Smith: That sounds great. I’ll ask her to
call you in a couple weeks.
I’m really glad to hear that you got a good
start.
Two weeks later:
Ms. Ng: Yeah, I guess I did! And I liked the
class a lot. It was fun.
Alicia: Hello, Ms. Ng, this is Alicia from Dr.
Smith’s office. He asked me to give you a
call to see how your plan went.
Ms. Ng: Oh, hello Alicia. I’m afraid I didn’t
do very well. I went on the first Friday, but
I was really busy at work last week and I
missed both days.
Alicia: Oh, good for you for going last
Friday! It sounds like you had some success
at first and then ran into some difficulties.

Alicia: That’s great! What would you like
to do next?
Ms. Ng: Well, they have an early class in
the morning. It’s hard to predict how busy
my work day is going to be, so I’d like to
try the morning class before work. I could
start tomorrow.
Alicia continues with SMART planning
and helps Ms. Ng to create a new plan.
