Who Should Attend?
Anyone looking to be more successful reaching their own goals,
or interested in helping others to be more effective in reaching
theirs.
Too often, we know what we want to do, but not how to do it
-- how to turn our knowledge and desire into action. Each of us
knows the frustration of working with someone to put them on a
path to positive change, only to watch them fail to actually walk
that path. Perhaps you, too, have struggled to make changes in
your own life. After all, who hasn't?
This science-based approach to making lasting change will be
profoundly useful to coaches, counselors, therapists, managers,
leaders, parents, and anyone else concerned with showing others
how to reach their fullest potential and greatest well being.
In this course, you will learn strategies that will not only
empower you to help others, but will also enable you to more effectively
reach your own personal and professional goals.

What You'll Learn Each Week:
Week 1: The Goal Saboteurs: Why our intuitions about
why we succeed or fail are usually wrong, and the real pitfalls
of goal pursuit.
Week 2: Specificity, Difficulty, & Realistic Optimism:
What to do when setting a goal to make you much more
likely to reach it.
Week 3: Mindsets: Why the way we think about our goals
matters. Part 1: Do you want to be good or get
better? (performance vs. learning goals)
Week 4: Mindsets: Why the way we think about our goals
matters. Part 2: Do you want to go for gains
or avoid losses? Do you want to be loved or feel
safe? (promotion vs. prevention goals)
Week 5: A Simple Plan: Why if-then planning is
the single most effective strategy you can use to reach any
goal.
Week 6: Building the Willpower Muscle: Why self-control
operates like a muscle, what that means for how we should use
it, and how we can get our hands on some more of it.
Week 7: Perseverance and Grit: Most people give up way
on themselves way too soon. Learn how to cultivate grit and
hang in there long enough to make lasting change.
Week 8: Giving Feedback that Motivates: Even well-intentioned
feedback can backfire. (In fact, it frequently does.) Learn
how to phrase criticism and praise in ways that support
autonomy and fuel motivation, while providing the honest assessment
they need to develop and improve.

What You'll Get Out of This Course:
You'll be knowledgeable about the latest, most cutting-edge
research in one of the most exciting areas of psychology:
motivation science. This is expertise that is in demand in organizations
across the country and around the world.
You'll learn the true causes of success and failure,
and understand why you may have been successful in reaching some
goals, but not others. (More importantly, you'll learn what you
can do to change that once and for all.)
You'll discover practical, simple, and easy to
use strategies that have been proven effective in diverse
populations for reaching professional, relationship, health, and
life goals.
You'll understand why not every strategy is effective for
everyone, why some strategies feel right while others
don't, and how to identify what will work best for you and for
those you are trying to help.
You'll master the art and science of giving feedback
- feedback that does exactly what you want it to do.
You'll learn how to bridge the gap between desire and action.
Setting goals is not enough. Being committed to
them isn't enough either. Defeating the goal saboteurs is all
about strategy -- how we set goals, how we pursue
them, how we handle obstacles when they arise. This course
will teach you the strategies you need to make success happen.
And if you ever lead workshops on goals? I promise you
you'll have new, exciting material your audience has not heard
of.
