I am sure others are having similar experiences - a little learning for me - happened to be in the room while my 6 year old was doing his weekly 1.1 with his manager, uh teacher.
After some catching up she wanted to make sure they were aligned on the WIG and asked him to put his WIG sheet in front of the camera. WIG is Wildly Important Goal.
The fact that they have goals and review them regularly is impressive but what really got me is the teacher asking his new AR (advanced reading) goal and him saying - I want to get as many AR points as possible by doing n tests per day.
Her response was, “That sounds great, but can we write it as - from x to y - and also, I want to talk about how you will celebrate when you get there.“
Love the OKR style answer from the teacher immediately improving his ability to write goals. Now I know I will be getting a request from his teacher for more Minecraft time for him when he hits his AR goal. #learning#teacher

#1 question I get in mentoring sessions is – I have this offer, should I take it? Or how do I decide what to do next? Over the years, I built an acronym to make it simple – make sure the new role meets the SOUL-mate test – These are the requirements:
The S is for Something you are hungry for (not just interested or passionate about – truly hungry for). This will make sure you wake up every morning ready to succeed in the new role.
The O reminds you that there should be opportunity for everyone and not just you. Successful people do a lot of things right, and luck plays its part, but they also ride waves.
