Training Tidbit – Goal Setting If you have the chance to do some goal setting with your mentee Mentoring.org has a very good webinar you may want to watch. You can access the webinar at CMWS March 2022 – Helping Mentees to Set and Achieve Goals – MENTOR (mentoring.org) The ability to set and pursue goals is linked to positive outcomes such as higher grades, career achievement, motivation, empowerment, and contribution. Higher levels of goal-directed skills are also linked with lower levels of depressive symptoms, delinquency, and risky behaviors such as smoking, underage drinking, and substance use. There some very good goal setting worksheets available by just searching on google but one that we have just become familiar with can be found on the google drive for PAL Mentors inside the “Goal Setting” folder. As a reminder, you can access that google drive by logging into google with this email address: vfypalmentors@gmail.com and using the password PALment0rs! |
