Lunch and Learn: Goal Setting and Shifting Expectations

We all start the new year with a list of goals for ourselves. But too often we give up on them before the end of January. This is because we are not getting clear and attainable goals for ourselves or building a real plan to achieve them.

As the Presentient and CEO of the United Way of East Tenn. Highlands, Leslie Dalton is no stranger to setting sustainable goals. Each year she and her team fight for the health, education and financial stability of every person in our community by forging unlikely partnerships, finding new solutions to old problems, mobilizing our best resources and inspiring individuals to join the fight.

After the Hurricane, the United Way of ETH had to do some MAJOR shifting from the goals they had planned to push their resources to those who lost everything. Then of course they had to build a NEW plan for long-term recovery.

Join us for a lunch and learn where Leslie will discuss how to set maintainable goals for yourself, stick to them, and how to navigate shifting them when life throws you a curveball. Then move forward ready to tackle 2025!

Lunch will be provided.
Registration is Required.
