15. Think
Behaviour – a description of what you will do differently
Condition – the context or what you would need to do
this thing (e.g. the opportunity to give presentations!)
Degree – the desired level or target
So, improve my presentation skills could become…
“All presentations to senior management, will be delivered in a
way that achieves the presentation objectives, holds their
interest, is clear and well structured with minimum slides and
maximum interaction. After each presentation, my line
manager will give me feedback as to whether I have achieved
this”.
16. “People with clear, written goals
accomplish far more in a shorter
period of time than people
without them could ever
imagine”
Brian Tracy ‘How to get everything you want
faster than you ever thought possible’
18. Harvard Business School
“Have you set clear, written goals for your future
and made plans to accomplish them?”
• 3% of the graduates had written goals and plans
• 13 % had goals, but they were not in writing
• 84 % had no specific goals at all
10 years later….
• The 13 % of the class who had goals were
earning, on average, twice as much as the 84%
who had no goals at all.
• The 3% who had clear, written goals? They were
earning, on average, ten times as much as the
other 97% put together.
