SMART

Fed up with hearing my own voice. Sore feet from having stood up for most of the day (in a new pair of shoes. And yes, heels are high). And too much coffee and too much of anything that comes with the coffee.

It's busy season for training delivery.

Training in how to make the most out of the annual appraisal meeting. And how to set the perfect objectives for the year to come. It should be Stretched, Measurable, Accepted, Realistic and Timely. Sounds so simple, yet it's proving to be quite difficult in reality. Why is that? May be because we are not very good at setting objectives full stop. When was the last time you set a personal objective that was SMART (oh yes, that's what we are striving for here)?

I'm prepared to be challenged on mine in a couple of weeks' time. That's what I use my coach for. Among other things of course.
