  8. Few Goal Setting Tips •Be specific. State the exact result you want in detail, I.e. “Iwant to complete a master degree in computer graphics at my state university by December, 2010.” •Be realistic in terms of time and ability •Breakdown each goal into detailed action steps •Develop a framework that spell out what you can do today or this week to further you along

  9. Goal-Setting Tips •Be clear about the challenges of your goals. Fill out a personal challenges contract for each one: A) I am committed to this goal because…….. B) the barriers to achieving this goal are….. C) I need to do the following (usually develop skills or support) to increase my chances for success

  10. Plan of Action •State objectives with a high degree of specificity •Limit the focus. Include no more than 3 major areas in your plan •Layout small, reasonable steps. Expecting too much too soon will discourage progress •Include deadlines. Schedule target dates for completion and check points for progress reviews

  11. Self-Marketing

  12. Before you begin to sell yourself, ask the following questions:  What it is you have to offer?  Who want it?  What’sit worth to them?

  13. Self-Marketing Means  Being assertive about who you are and what you want.  Knowing your goals and advocating them  Telegraphing to someone else how your expertise can benefit them

You stop listening to others around you and insist that you are always right. •Lack of integrity This one usually takes awhile to show up, but eventually it will. •Lack of accountability People who don't accept accountability are head-nodders. They smile and sometime even write things down, as if they are actually going to take action, but they seldom follow through.

  20. What do you do? • Ask him/her where they see YOU in that company in the next 3-5 years. You should be able to get a sense of whether your boss is holding you back. If there is hesitation, then perhaps moving on is the best idea. • Remember, bosses cannot read your mind. It is possible that your boss does not know you want the promotion or believes you can be passed over without raising a fuss or leaving. Don't get mad, get assertive! • If you don't get a useful answer, this may be a not so subtle message that you've gone as far as you are going to go in this organization, and it's time to look outside the organization. • Assessing yourself and getting feedback may help you decide to pursue a future promotion with your current employer, to seek additional training or education, or to look outside the organization for a new opportunity.
