IN THIS LESSON

You will:

  • Learn how to set useful goals for pursuing your career.

When done right, goal setting can inspire, motivate, and energize individuals and teams to focus on successful outcomes. On the other hand, unclear, unrealistic, or poorly timed goals can result in frustration and failure.

So, let’s get you all set up to set USEFUL goals for pursuing your ecology careers.

First, please watch this brief video describing how to set a useful, and SMART, goal. Strategies for reaching goals will also be discussed.

Next, download the goals worksheet and start to reflect on what your goal is, two benchmarks to reach to know you are on your way, and four strategies to implement as you work towards those benchmarks.

Come back and download this worksheet as often as you need to, for as many goals as you are pursuing.
