Imagine you’re exploring the whimsical world of Alice in Wonderland, and who do you come across? The mischievous Cheshire Cat!
He drops this famous line:
“If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will get you there.”
It’s like he’s speaking directly to our career dilemmas! Without clear goals, we might end up tumbling down wild rabbit holes and landing who knows where.
HEART-Based goal setting is about making intentional decisions aligned with your core values and aspirations. It involves defining your vision, clarifying desired outcomes, and writing down your goals for accountability.
By setting HEART-based goals, you can create a career path that resonates with who you are and brings purpose and fulfillment. It’s about finding the right ‘road’ rather than going down ‘rabbit holes’ of misaligned opportunities.

In today’s episode, we’ll dive into HEART-based career goal setting. Using my three-part framework, you’ll discover the science behind goal setting and how to craft your heart-based plans. I’ll also provide an example to tie it all together.
