AP 786: What We Get Wrong Around Goal-Making + How to Pursue Bold Goals Without Burning Out || Wise Women Series, with Dr. Danielle McGeough

from About Progress · host Cloud10

As someone who has historically had a complicated relationship with goals, I found Dr. Danielle McGeough's perspective refreshing and enlightening. One profound takeaway from our conversation was the concept of detaching self-worth from achievements. Danielle emphasized setting goals that focus on who you want to become on the journey, rather than just the destination. This shift in perspective transforms traditional goal-setting, allowing for personal evolution without the baggage of perfectionism or burnout. I’m excited to implement her insights and encourage you to explore this transformative approach.
