1. Let's Talk About Goals Louise Neil & Kim Romain 31:27

We’ve all heard the old adage: “If you aim for nothing, you’ll hit it every time.”  That’s where goals come in. They give us something to aim for. A bit of direction and purpose.   The thing is… goals can be really scary. What if we don’t meet them? What if we do? What if we set the wrong goal? What if… what if… what if?  Truth be told, one of us (tune in to find out who) really can’t stand the terminology around goals and goal-setting. And yet, has learned how to work with goals for herself and her clients in meaningful ways that create momentum.

There’s a lot more to goals than meets the eye. On this week’s show, Kim & Louise talk about goals, how to set them, what to do with them, and what happens when you do or don’t achieve them.

Louise Neil and Kim Romain have created a movement around finding and creating work that fits and feels good. It doesn’t matter if you work for yourself of someone else - the bottom line is what you do for a living doesn’t have to be work! It’s time to take back control of your work life. That is why we have created Your Kickass Career Podcast, live events, workshops, and collective.
