Dumb Goals

These are goals in the format originally set out by my supervisor, i.e. not a ton of structure. And they are OK goals, in general. For my annual performance assessment (now that I'm 10 months in) I am re-hashing my goals to be SMART goals. That is, specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and timely.

Which I have taught about 4 times in-school at urban programs to students, and yet didn't employ in making my own goals. Improved goals coming up next!

My Goals, pre-SMART-ing

• Maintain work-life balance.
• Qualify for lifeguarding in June 2009 by completing the 550 in Bass Lake, and then complete the lifeguarding certification course and test.
• Become more aware of and work to improve professionalism in communication (appropriate, efficient, and helpful) and dress.
• Managing time efficiently and better prioritizing tasks, especially during Area Work Days.
• Become a better facilitator through asking for and receiving feedback.
• Become more accountable for my gear.
