Planning and Execution
Facilitated by Bruce Williams
Workshop Overview:
Part 1: Strategic Action and Goal Setting
Strategic actions and goals are essential for achieving personal and professional success. They help you to clarify your vision, focus your efforts, and measure your results. However, creating and implementing strategic actions and goals can be challenging, especially in a complex and dynamic environment. How do you set realistic and relevant goals that align with values and purpose but are also flexible enough to respond to the unexpected? How do you overcome obstacles and distractions that prevent you from taking action? How do you track and evaluate your progress and performance to ensure continuous improvement? And how do you maintain momentum, motivation and your own well-being?
In this webinar, you will learn how to create and implement strategic actions and goals that are informed by and aligned with your vision and values. You will also discover some practical tools and tips to plan, track and evaluate progress on meaningful goals.

Do you struggle to say no to people and distractions that eat up your limited time and attention?
In this webinar, you will discover how to identify and prioritise your core values, goals, and activities, and why this alignment matters. You’ll learn how to cultivate motivation and consistent daily action, even when you face challenges, distractions, disruptions and setbacks. You’ll also explore some effective techniques for creating and maintaining routines or daily practices to support ongoing performance without compromising your personal wellbeing.
