Description
The world is changing fast all around us and especially now with a global Covid-19 pandemic we are in a time of rapid change. Many people are losing jobs and businesses forced to close due to lock-downs to prevent the spread of the virus. Goal setting is such a vital skill to develop in 2021 and beyond. We need the confidence and skills to be proactive and take charge of our lives now more than ever. We need to be able to set effective goals and take our lives in new exciting directions. Many people set goals and perhaps you also set goals for yourself. The question is how effective are those goals? How compelling and inspiring are your goals? What is your success rate on goal achievement?
According to U.S. News & World Report, the failure rate for New Year's resolutions is said to be about 80%, and most give up on their new year goals by mid-February. The good news is that effective goal setting is a learned skill that we can all acquire and improve upon. None of us can afford to take goal setting for granted. This course will show you how to set compelling and life transforming goals that will bring out the very best in you and take your life in a new and exciting direction of your own choosing. You have the power to make your life whatever you want it to be through effective goal setting. This course is action orientated and by the end of the course you will have set up to three key long term goals to propel your own life forward in new and exciting directions on the journey to your desired future. Don't wait until new year to set effective goals. You can set goals any time of year - this is especially true in 2020 as everything has changed so rapidly around us we all need to rethink our goals. Don't assume that you know everything about goal setting already. Even experienced goal setters can benefit by renewing and constantly refining and improving their goal setting skills. This course draws on the latest research into effective goal setting. The course also draws on futures thinking methodologies which we can use to help us shape our own long term future.

I grew up in the midlands of Ireland and while there I developed a passion for bees and beekeeping at a young age. That passion for bees led me to work on beekeeping development in Eastern Africa for over 20 years. I currently keep bees and produce honey in both Ireland and Kenya.
Another passion of mine is personal development and career success and I teach three related courses - one on reinventing yourself and making positive changes to your life and the other course on effective goal setting.
My latest course is on the technologies and other forces which are rapidly changing our world and the skills we need to survive and thrive in our careers in the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution.
I hold a Bachelors degree in Agricultural Science from University College Dublin, an MSc in Entrepreneurship (Stirling, University, UK), an MSc in Environmental Science (UCD) and a PhD in Rural Development (UCD).
I am an avid life-long learner which I believe is essential in today's fast changing world. I am currently developing my skills in Cyber Security!
I bring my varied background and experiences into all my courses on Udemy which I hope brings a fresh and enjoyable perspective to everything that I teach.
Thank you,
Tom
