What’s better than a S.M.A.R.T. goal? How do you create a goal that gets you excited, but also scares you? How can you test to make sure it’s worth doing?
In this livestream, Chris talks to Michael Bungay Stanier on how one can make a worthy goal. Michael shares the three elements a worthy goal has to have, how to create your first draft, and how to test it to see if it meets the worthiness criteria.
Michael Bungay Stanier is the author of six books which between them have sold more than
a million copies. He’s best known for The Coaching Habit, the best-selling coaching book of
the century and already recognized as a classic. Michael was a Rhodes Scholar and plays the
ukulele badly. He’s Australian, and lives in Toronto, Canada
