A new year with new goals

I’m participating in a coaching mastermind that has been truly valuable in many ways. Some of those include learning from like-minded physicians, being motivated by coaches that have succeeded in ways that I hope to mirror and gaining new insights to tools and approaches that help multiply results. 

Setting goals is an important part of the work we do in this coaching mastermind and recently, we were pushed to REALLY hone our goals. Even I, someone that is goal oriented and sets goals for measuring at work with my direct reports and for myself, was challenged to be more specific!

Here is an example of a goal refinement exercise I recently did with my coach:

“Increase awareness of The Pharma IndustryMDCoach”

How? 

“be on podcasts and talk about careers in pharma/biotech as a fulfilling career option for physicians”

When?

“This year”

How many podcasts?

“1 per month”

Can you do more? Can you increase the goal? Stretch?

“2 per month”

Can you further define the period of time in which you will do this?

“2 podcasts per month for the next 3 months”

Yes! Now we have a very actionable goal that is measurable and can be easily determined if I successfully achieved the goal. 

What goals do you have for 2024? Can you refine these goals to make them specific and measurable? Challenge yourself to do so!
