Exercises/Activities

1. Specific Goal Setting - Setting goals is one of the most important things you can do if you
want to achieve things in your personal or business life. With the end of the year coming up,
most people’s focus starts to turn inwards. It’s hard not to think about what you’ve
accomplished this year when every other article is a round-up of the best advice. One of the
reasons goals are so important is that they give you direction. When you've got clearly set and
well-defined goals, they make lots of decisions easy. You don’t need to expend any mental
energy thinking about certain courses of action because they don’t fit your goals. It’s the goals
you don’t achieve, or really, don’t even attempt to achieve, that are most illuminating. Looking
at what you haven’t achieved and why can really help you decide what you actually want, not
what you say want.
2. Willingness to take risks - Many are turned off by risks. It is actually easier and more
comfortable to sit down in a safe spot and wait. But, this is what distinguishes the doers from
the dreamers. While the dreamers are still sleeping and waiting for the best moment to take
action, the taker has caught the rewards. Risk-takers are more likely to be successful because
they do not limit themselves and are willing to put in their energy when every other person is
hesitant.

3. Interpersonal skills - Using good interpersonal skills is often the difference between
effectively communicating, and building barriers to the communication process. Understanding
the individual and creating an environment conducive to effective communication is an efficient
means to developing valuable relationships. Communication, emotional intelligence, and
empathy are the most essential building blocks of interpersonal skills. Your interpersonal skills
will impact the way your career progresses. If you have strong interpersonal skills, your team
will function better together and you will all accomplish more.
