Even Coaches have Goals

Posted 21 Jun 2010

Do Coach’s actively set Goals?

The answer is a resounding YES! As an example, a good coaching colleague has just released her debut album with a distinct Folk/Pop feel.

Stephanie is a great coach and her heart is with supporting charity as below:

“In February 2008, I determined that my purpose in life is to “sing a song in my heart”. I wasn’t sure exactly what that meant when it came to me. I used it as a metaphor for what I do as a coach. Interestingly, since then it has all become more literal, and led me to writing and recording my own songs. As a result, I have just finished recording my first original music EP called “Resilient Soul”.

JUNE TARGET

Just like most of us, I have had family and friends who have died from cancer, including, my dad, who died from pancreatic cancer in 2004. I wanted to come up with a way to contribute to the Queensland Cancer Council on a bigger scale and so I have set a target to sell 200 of my CDs in June & am donating $2 from the sale of each EP in June to the Queensland Cancer Council… this target won’t be bringing me any profit – it’s going to take a few more than that to break even!

I am asking people to buy at least one EP to help me hit my $400 donation target for the Queensland Cancer Council. I would also appreciate your help in spreading the word to anyone who could do with feeling a little more “resilient” and would appreciate the gesture of giving to the Cancer Council.”

For more information, to listen to some songs from the CD (follow the link on the “Music” page) to: www.stephaniegill.wordpress.com. You will find the whole story behind the EP there.

So yes, Coaches do set goals and do achieve them.

Goals are crucial in moving forward in the long term.
