Listen "Goals Are For Skill-Building, Not Worth-Building"
Episode Synopsis
In my community, we do goals. We love goals. Setting them, achieving them.
And, we do goals in some very specific ways. Today I’m sharing my rules for goals, starting with the biggest and most important: goals are about skill-building, and never, ever about worth-building.
Let’s talk more — about what this means, about the other goal rules that will help you have an amazing relationship to your own growth, and about how to apply the same rules to support, supervise and catapult the growth of your team.
Thanks for listening.
