Milo Session #03: Goal‑Setting for Grounded Professional Growth

Leadership isn’t just about hitting targets—it’s about evolving. And that requires intention. In this session, we’ll explore how to set clear, actionable goals that actually connect to your values and vision.

✅ Use the S.M.A.R.T. Framework

• Specific: What exactly do I want to achieve?
• Measurable: How will I know it’s working?
• Achievable: Is this realistic for now?
• Relevant: Does it matter to my purpose?
• Time-bound: When will I review this?

Example:

“I will improve my team communication by hosting a 15-minute daily check-in for the next month. Success will be fewer missed deadlines and fewer Slack escalations.”

🔥 Try the H.A.R.D. Framework for Ambitious Goals

• Heartfelt: Does it excite or inspire me?
• Animated: Can I visualize it?
• Required: Will it help me grow?
• Difficult: Will it stretch me?

Use H.A.R.D. goals for things that feel big and bold—like shifting your leadership style, starting a new business area, or stepping into executive decision-making.

✍️ Reflection Prompts for Goal Clarity

• What is one skill that would unlock the next level of my leadership?
• What would I love my team to say about me in 6 months?
• What goal scares me just enough to mean it matters?
• What part of my vision have I been avoiding—because it feels too ambitious?
