A Radical New Approach to Goal-Setting
Most of us approach the new year the same way: make resolutions, set ambitious goals, and hope this year will be different. To be honest, it’s a model that sets us up for failure from the beginning (so much so that New Year’s resolutions have become cliché).
What if the traditional way we think about goal-setting is wrapped up in stories and systems that don't actually work for most people?
Join us for an interactive workshop inspired by Tara McMullin's book What Works: A Comprehensive Framework to Change the Way We Approach Goal-Setting. This isn't your typical goal-setting session. Instead of pushing harder or being more disciplined, we'll explore a framework that helps you set goals aligned with who you are and the constraints you're actually working within.
What makes this approach different?
Rather than adopting goals that worked for someone else or following a one-size-fits-all formula, this framework helps you understand the systems and stories that shape your work, and use that awareness to set goals that actually fit your life and values.
In this one-hour session, you'll:
Watch an illustrated book review that breaks down the key concepts from What Works in an engaging, visual format
Explore thought-provoking prompts through guided journaling and optional group discussion about what goal-setting can look like when it's built around your reality
Leave with a new perspective on how to approach 2026 with clarity and intention, free from the pressure of traditional resolutions
You don't need to have read the book to participate, but it might be helpful to check out this illustrated review in preparation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUMyTWxtxXw
