Why Traditional Goal Setting Doesn’t Work & What to Try Instead
Feb 28, 2023 Episode 21
Shane Wallace & Morgan Berna

#21 - As we get closer to the start of Q2, it’s a natural time to check in on the goals we set at the top of the year. Are they achievable? Do they align with our personal interests? Do we even know why we set them? Let’s talk about it. In this episode, we explore goal setting from creation to execution, what teams frequently get wrong when setting goals, and discuss ways parents can help their kids and teens start thinking about their future careers. Shane explains CultureSmith’s framework for creating a FOCUSed goal and why SMART goals shouldn’t be the standard. Plus, Shane shares the unique way he looks at his personal goals each year.
