Next Step Overview:
Have you ever set a New Year’s resolution, got excited, worked hard at it for a month or so and then lost motivation and seen your pursuit of the goal slowly fade away? Many people set goals in this manner, but without a specific strategy and support system it can be easy to get side-tracked and lose your way.
Next Step Personal Development Programme is for adults aged 18 and over, designed to build individual confidence and self-esteem and to facilitate effective individual ‘Goal Setting’ and ‘Goal Achievement’. Over 6 sessions, Next Step will help you to visualise your goals with clarity, create plans and actions with detail and to prepare for potential obstacles and road blocks that could potentially hinder your progress and attainment.
Key Concepts:
□ Targeting Goals □ SMART Targets □ Mind-Set □ Action Steps
□ Support Tools □ Accountability □ Limiting Beliefs □ Positive Affirmations
