2010 began with the Fresh Start for Women goal setting seminar on March 10, 2010. As in past seminars for goal setting founder and CEO Janice Pettigrew used her own goals for 2010 as an example of how to prepare for 2010.
Using her job loss in May 2009 as an example Janice Pettigrew listed out some of her goals including getting a mentor to hold her accountable as she works to make Fresh Start for Women an important part of the community whenit comes to domestic violence, abuse and sexual assault against women. This personal approach allowed Janice Pettigrew to connect with the women by showing she's not only there to help them but that she understands many of the things they experience. From there it was on to the keys to setting and achieving goals including:
1. Write it Down
2. List Personal Benefits
3. Analyze Current Situation
4. Identify Obstacles and Risks
5. Identify Investments and Sacrifices
6. List Knowledge Requirements
7. Get a Support Team
8. Develop the Plan
9. Set a Deadline
10. Reward and Celebrate
and number 11 for this year go to the next one on the list. A follow-up meeting is planned in 90 days to see how everyone is progressing on their individual goals. As always the goal setting seminar sets the stage for 2010 activities.
