SMART criteria

Yes.

Replacing the mystery with mechanics by exploring honestly one of the most famous frameworks in the world, the SMART goal framework.

And we are not just looking at this from one angle today.

We are synthesizing a really massive stack of material.

Let's do it.

Before we can start applying this framework to marketing pipelines or global warming, we need to strip it down to the studs.

We really need to understand what a goal actually is in a strict mechanical sense and where this famous SMART acronym actually came from.

Yeah.

with some go-to strategies for your counseling program.

Today's episode is really all about creating some SMART goals.

And I thought this would be a great episode for this week because I just finished our SMART goal for our counseling program.

this morning.

So I know a lot of people have asked me in the past about creating smarkles and what they should put in their smarkles.

So I thought this would be the great thing to talk about today.

And one simple way to really help understand what a SMART goal is for a counseling program is just to understand that it's really about moving from good intentions to a really clear plan for your counseling program.

And I think that's what a SMART goal does.

There's certainly a lot of great goal setting frameworks that are out there.

I think most people are familiar with the SMART goal framework.

And if somebody wants to type into the chat or into the question panel what those five letters S-M-A-R-T mean, I think most people are familiar with that.

And I've always looked at SMART goals as a great place to start but often not enough to do the trick in order to really move those most important goals forward.

And one of the limitations that I find with the typical SMART goal framework is that the SMART goal gives you a great picture of where you want to land, where you want to end.

What is the outcome that you're striving for or the result that you're there to achieve? In some ways, I equate that to the score on the scoreboard at the end of the game.

Yet, if you're missing one important question, you're going to miss the scoreboard altogether and it's answering the question, how? How are you going to achieve your goals? I see it really critical to combine or to companion two types of goals.

The typical SMART goal framework, the scoreboard, which is about outcomes, but then also bringing in the process goals.

A good goal helps you recognize your self-worth, drives your will to act, and nurtures a sense of control over your life.

To achieve the highest effectiveness, goals need to be set according to the SMART principle.

Specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound.

First, specificity helps you clearly understand what you want to achieve.

Okay.

So there's usually this thing that they associate with goal and objective, which is the, the SMART principle.

Do you wanna quickly take us through what the SMART means?

What, what do you mean by the SMART principle?

S-M-A-R-T.

Okay.

SMART principle, okay.

The S is being specific.

Welcome everyone to the Learn Polish for Beginners podcast.

Today we'll learn how to talk about setting goals, making plans, meeting deadlines, tracking progress, and staying motivated, covering essential words such as cel, plan, termin, nawyk, and even the popular SMART goal framework.

A goal is a target you aim to reach, often used when you talk about what you want to achieve.

Goal.

Time management.

A SMART goal follows the framework of specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound criteria to set clear objectives.

SMART goal.

Mm-hmm.

Well, what I'll say is that, you know, because this is the most natural thing in the world and what the predominance of SMART goals and all that kind of s- all that performative stuff is more artificial, less natural for us as, as animals, um, this is found in nature.

You know, iteration.

Animals iterate, and if, if you, there was a recent study that if, if you knock out a rat's habenula, uh, chemically, that it will literally keep doing plan A over and over and over again and not move to iteration.

Yes.

Um, what's the one thing physicians should stop doing with patients tomorrow or today because it triggers the habenula instead of helping?

Yeah, I mean, my, my, my biggest, um, news for the clinician community is stop setting SMART goals-

Wow
