The team at Happy Creative recently spent an afternoon on a much anticipated Goal Mapping workshop. This particular day the weather was stunning and the venue was the Tree House at Ribby Hall so we were very excited! Especially as it was with our very good Happy friend Helen Varey.
It is good practice for any business big or small to take some time to assess and reset goals. Be that marketing goals or in this case our business goals. So what better way to do this than up a tree!
The Goal Mapping programme was originally developed by Brian Mayne to powerfully impact your goals upon your subconscious. The programme is a combination of ancient wisdom and modern accelerated learning techniques, woven together with success principles into one holistic system, which appeals to everyone. We were looking forward to focusing on the future (our big, bright, happy future specifically!) and to look at the ways we, as individuals can contribute to that.
Goal Mapping can be applied in a number of ways to achieve a variety of different objectives: mapping, tracking, brainstorming, unifying, and future projecting. The number one prerequisite for success in any endeavour, for any individual, team, or organisation is learning the most effective way to set goals and we certainly took on board the valuable information that we were given.
The afternoon was spent setting our goals and making plans for the future. We learned the benefits of positivity and how our drive, attitude and confidence (DAC) can impact on our family life and work.
But undoubtedly the most exciting part came near to the end of the session when we were asked to represent our company goals in a picture. As each one of us contributed, amidst much enthusiasm, I mused that it had been slightly unfair to be next to one of our designers whose arty, proportionally correct sketches made those of us who still resort to “stick figures” feel slightly inadequate!
It was a brilliant afternoon though and we have returned to Happy HQ with renewed motivation and focus (not that we didn’t have enough in the first place!). It was a valuable learning experience that will benefit us both as individuals and as a company and these benefits will in turn be passed on to our clients.
