Good practice in setting workable goals

Transcript

NARRATOR
In this video showing good practise in goal-setting, we see a coach dealing effectively with a goal that threatens to be too big.
COACH
So, Tim, we've got a fairly short session today. What is it that you'd like to discuss?
CLIENT [COACHEE]
So what I'd like to do today, Phil, is to cover off what I'm going to do in the next 20 years of my career to get me to where I need to be.
COACH
You want to cover what you want to do in the next 20 years?
CLIENT
Yeah.
COACH
So that sounds like quite a big subject, Tim. What specifically do you want to cover today?
CLIENT
Yeah. So it is quite a big subject, and it is on my mind. And I need to get clear. I don't seem to have a clear idea of where I'm going.
COACH
OK. So you're looking for clarity.
CLIENT
Yeah.
COACH
So if we were to look at what you want to take away from this session, what's the must takeaway for you?
CLIENT
I guess the must takeway for me is what's my next move.
COACH
What's your next move.
CLIENT
What's my next move.
COACH
So if we were to focus on not necessarily the whole 20 years but the next move, how would that be?
CLIENT
Yeah. Yeah. That would be good. I mean, I'm happy enough where I am at the moment. I'm still feeling quite challenged. And I need to know what's next.
COACH
OK. You need to know what's next. Can you just summarise for me what you specifically need to take from the session?
CLIENT
So specifically what I want to take away is what's my next move.
COACH
OK. So just looking for the next move.
CLIENT
Exactly. And it could be a year down the line, but what am I aiming at?
COACH
OK. And what are you aiming at for the next move.
CLIENT
Exactly. Exactly,
COACH
Great.
