Builder #9: The Power of Goal Setting (Meeting Agenda)

This meeting agenda is organized into 3 parts. As the facilitator, you can choose to use 1, 2 or all 3 parts of this agenda based on the time you want to allocate and what you want to accomplish with the group.

  • Golden Nuggets (builds team cohesion)
  • Topical Conversations (reinforces specific concepts)
  • Application (drives changes in behavior)

Part 1 - Golden Nuggets

What were your golden nuggets from our last conversation? (Go around the room, each person picks the next to share.) What were your golden nuggets from listening to Builder #9? They could be concepts or takeaways, relevant stories or experiences — from your life or someone else’s. (As people share golden nuggets) Do any examples or experiences of that come to mind?

Part 2 - Topical Conversations

One of the topics discussed was _______. What were your thoughts about this? What examples of this principle in action come to mind?

Topics:
Visualization as a Tool:
  • Last time, we discussed visualization. What are some examples of visualization being successfully used as a tool? How can we use this as a team?
  • Russian’s using visualization in the olympics (gymnastics) to outperform competition in the 60’s
  • Josh Waitzkin example - visualizing lifting with a broken arm, got stronger
  • Randy helping Joe successfully visualize the managers meeting the night before (predicted what would happen)
Why Goals are Important:
  • People who set goals are 10X to 100X more successful. Why do you think that is?
  • Goal setting utilizes the software of the mind (aligning the conscious and subconscious mind)
Many Don't Set Goals:
  • The majority of people don’t have written goals. Why do you think that is?
  • Never been taught
  • Don’t know the importance
  • To avoid criticism from other people
  • Fear of failure (they can’t achieve it)
  • Fear of success (they don’t deserve to achieve it)
Types of Goals:
  • There are 3 categories of goals - professional, personal (health, relationships, financial), and self-development. Where have you set goals in the past? Where have you avoided setting goals?
Steps to Setting a Goal:
  • Let’s go through the process and set a goal together…
  • Set clear and specific goal
  • If this is what I want, why don’t I have it now?
  • Gain benefit/avoid loss
  • Develop the step by step plan
  • Using affirmation and visualization to accelerate results

Part 3 - Application

  • How do the concepts discussed in this builder apply to what we do as a team?
  • How do the concepts discussed in this builder apply to your individual roles?
