12. Specific

13. Specific • The more specific you are, the more likely you are to reach your goal • I want to be famous I want to be a famous writer • I want to be a famous novelist • Increased physical activity increased walking • children walk more • Healthier eating eat more fruits and vegetables …. Organizations adopt the healthy food policy

14. Measureable Use a number, percentage or a discrete unit. Something you can count and something you can measure • I want to write 10 novels • 50% of children walk 20 more minutes • 5 organizations adopt the healthy food policy 2 # %

15. Active • Make it action oriented. Use an action verb, something you can do • I will write 10 novels • 50% of children will walk 20 more minutes • HCP will facilitate the adoption of the health food policy in 5 organizations

16. Active Verbs • Advocate • Change • Collaborate • Conduct • Coordinate • Deliver • Enact • Coordinate • Deliver Enact Establish Formalize Implement Improve Increase Launch Mobilize Provide Publish Recruit Reorganize Respond Secure Spearhead Streamline Transfer Upgrade

17. Realistic • Consider the environment, trends, requirements, resources and other factors surrounding your goals. • Avoid using words like, every, each, never, 100%, eliminate – the absolutes tend not to be realistic • I will write 10,000 novels …. I will write 10 novels • 100% of children walk 20 more minutes …. 50% of children will walk ….. • HCP will facilitate the adoption of the health food policy in all organizations in the County ….HCP will facilitate the adoption of the health food policy in 5 organizations

18. Realistic • Trends • Reduce teenage pregnancy by 50 per year, when it’s been increasing by 10 each year for the past 5 years…. • Impact • How much will your action impact the goal - obesity and healthy food policy – number who adopt and when will you see a change in the overall goal • Build on what you are already doing, for example – you already doing health fairs, what can you do in addition to this that moves the needle? Use the health fair as a way to open up the door to adopting the healthy food policy • Resources available • Staff – if this new goal will take 3 more staff people to achieve, do you have the resources to do it? • Partners – how can you tap into your partners resources

19.
