Supporting Clients with Goal Setting, Private Session

Much of the language that supports goal setting is mirrored in making the goals
specific and actionable. This is the approach to both success and failure, suggesting
an end to the process. However, if the focus is on the systems that get a person
to that moment, they are more likely to have a compounding effect. Positive
compounding may include productivity, knowledge, and relationships that are
sustained once the goal has been attained. The question to consider is: If you
completely ignored your goals and focused only on your system, would you still
succeed?
Learning objectives:

• Examining the elements of the strengths within a person’s systems that exist within habits they already have.
• Explore the tension between positive and negative compounding habits or systems. Specifically positive compounds of productivity, knowledge, and relationships.
• Discuss toolkit strategies and wisdom related to elements that support systems.
• Understand types and tools to support self-compassion as you are the tool of your trade.
• Explore how your story of self-compassion can motivate behaviours and affect relationships.
• Reflect on how barriers to self-compassion show up for you.
• Understand the Stages of Progress toward Self- Compassion Practice.

This training explores how focusing on systems over specific goals leads to sustainable success. It invites to harness positive
habits, build self-compassion, and understand the stages of progress toward self-compassion practice.
