Setting great goals

ACCA
About this episode

This week, we’re talking goal setting.

Whether it’s picturing your first job as a qualified accountant or standing on the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, it can feel really exciting to imagine a new future for ourselves. But, as many of us know, that excitement can quickly turn to fear when faced with the reality of the work needed to get there. 

So this week, we sit down with cognitive behavioural therapist Sarah D Rees to understand why some of us struggle with setting, and achieving, our goals. From breaking down big plans to calming your inner critic, and rewarding yourself along the journey, we’re looking at strategies to help keep us all on track – both practically, and emotionally, while working towards our objectives. 

This is On Your Marks. Because you’ll never know until you try.
