Goal Setting

Getting clear on what you want is often the hardest part. We’re so used to performing, reacting, or solving for what’s in front of us that we rarely pause to ask: What do I actually want to be different?

This simple exercise is designed to help you slow down, reflect, and name what matters most so coaching has a clear sense of direction.

Use this reflection to:
• Clarify your top priorities
• Create a baseline to track progress
• Paint a picture of success you’re excited about

1. Name Your Goals

Think about the top 2–3 things you want to get out of coaching. These might relate to how you lead, how you feel, how you make decisions, or how you show up with others.

Give each goal a name or short phrase. I’m not giving you examples on purpose—this part is yours. Choose a word or phrase that captures the heart of the goal. Don’t overthink it. Something will come to you, and when it does write it down. It doesn’t have to be this goal’s name forever, just for now. What would you call it?

2. Rate Where You Are Today

For each goal, rate how things are going right nowon a scale from 1 to 10.

1 = This isn’t going well at all
10 = I’m exactly where I want to be

Then reflect on why you chose that number.

  Goal Name:

  ____________________

  Score (1–10):

  ____

  I choose this number because…

  __________________________________________________

3. Imagine the 10

Now imagine: if this goal were at a 10, what would be different?

What would you be doing? Saying? Thinking? Feeling? What would others notice about you?

  Goal Title:

  ____________________

  What would be different at a 10?

  __________________________________________________

Why this matters

Naming and rating your goals gives you a clear starting point. It helps you track progress, celebrate what’s working, surface what’s getting in the way, and see where support could make the biggest difference.

These goals help focus coaching on what matters most to you, so we’re working toward something real and meaningful.
