Once again Fresh Start for Women conducted its Goal Setting seminar. This year it was held at the Last Day Outreach Christian Center in Covington, GA.
The ladies in attendance were encouraged to examine 2008 and look for areas of improvement for 2009. The seminar was led by founder and CEO Dr. Janice G. Pettigrew. Dr. Pettigrew gave the ladies 10 steps to follow to achieve any goal. They were:
1. Write it Down
2. List Personal Benefits
3. Analyze Current Situations
4. Identify Obstacles and Risks
5. Identify Investment and Sacrifices
6. List Knowledge Requirements
7. Get a Support Team
8. Develop the Plan
9. Set a Deadline
10. Reward and Celebrate
Using her own goal of losing weight she walked the ladies through her plan and then the fun began as time was allotted for each to jot one goal down and following the above map out a plan for success. Everyone shared their goals and actually found a support team in the small group in attendance that day. It was agreed that Fresh Start would check back in 90 days to see how everyone was doing.
A special treat this year was Ms. Phyllis Taylor helping the ladies through creative expressions. This exercise is destined to become a staple at all seminars, workshops or conferences just like the Affirmation Circle.
The next seminar will be discussing Developing Healthy Relationships on March 28, 2009 back at Last Day Outreach Christian Center. Please call 404.543.1017 for more information.
