Volunteer management and volunteer recruitment ideas…
Happy New Year to everyone involved in volunteer management. Lots more great ideas to come for you this year.
Thanks to everyone who sent an email with their biggest challenge this year. We will only be able to send out some quick weekly tips on some challenges throughout the year so let’s get started.
VITAL GOAL SETTING TIP
If you are setting goals for 2012. Here is a vital goal setting tip for you. How you feel about and think about a goal is even more important than the goal itself.
POSITIVE NOT NEGATIVE WORDING OF YOUR GOALS
To help with your focus to achieve your goals – always write them down as positive not negative goals. For example, a goal of ‘losing weight’ is re-framed to ‘eating well and exercising’. Another one is to re-frame from ‘not being at work late at night’ to ‘spending evenings with the children’.
CHECK OUT THOSE GOALS AGAIN
So check out your goals again and make sure they are framed in positive rather than negative language.
