Learn how to not only set goals but how to achieve them. Goal setting is an area with which most everyone is somewhat familiar. When you know how to set and achieve your goals, you’re in charge of your life ... you determine the direction in which you’ll sail. This goal setting seminar can help you take control of your personal and professional life—attitude, relationships, time management, health and fitness, communication, and finances—so that you determine where you’re going.
