Goal Setting: Define & Achieve Your Dream Life

Although many have an idea of what they want their “dream life” to be like, a lack of deliberate goal-setting can lead to a succession of days that simply blend together into a lifetime without achievement. Hosted by Olympic gymnastics champion Shannon Miller, Goal Setting: Define & Achieve Your Dream Life outlines a six-step process for viewers to successfully set and meet long-term goals, offering practical advice that goes beyond the basic motivational mantras of “believing in yourself”‘ to take a look at real-life applications, as demonstrated by two believable characters. High school senior Stephanie wants to become a fashion designer, and therefore spends time researching design schools, while also looking at financial aid options. Furniture stockroom worker Andy, who aspires to be a regional manager, engages in job research, meets with his bosses, and takes on increased responsibility—planning realistic short-term goals that can be the key to long-term success. Of course, some obstacles cannot be overcome, and the program offers realistic and pragmatic suggestions for continuing to refine goals as changing situations warrant. Recommended. Aud: J, H, C, P.
