ABOUT THE COURSE
Throughout this course the learners will discover the importance of goal setting in
modern life. How human nature strives to achieve the goals and targets we set
ourselves. They will learn the mechanics of setting realistic, achievable goals and the
impact this has on motivation. We will demonstrate the techniques by taking the
learners through the motions of setting a number of real goals. And while we
appreciate that it’s rare for young people to have a clear vision for their long term
future – just a small focus of direction can have a huge impact.
BENEFITS
In the experience of the Exam Excellence team it has become apparent that the
majority of younger learners lack any future direction in their lives. And as they lack
clarity on which path to choose beyond their education they seriously lack the
motivation to do anything. Goal setting is a powerful and critical skill as has been
highlighted time and time again by highly successful people in all walks of life. By
setting realistic, achievable goals people have a target to work towards and hence
they strive to achieve that target.
