Here is an example to help get you started.

You will be assigned a poorly written goal that you must improve. Then respond to one person in your group. (A sample response is in brackets)

Assigned Goal: I want to get healthy Refined Goal: I want to improve my physical fitness and reduce my resting heart rate by 10 beats per minute in 6 months by increasing my cardio activity.

Specific: Reduce resting heart rate (Reducing a resting heart rate is a way to increase fitness)

Measurable: 10 beats per minute reduction (Heart rates can be measured and a baseline set to compare against)

Attainable or Achievable: I believe I can do this (Something more specific is needed for attainable, maybe add the type of exercise you will do weekly - this can also be measurable) Realistic or Reasonable:

I believe I can do this (It would be better if you researched how achievable this is in 6 months and how much cardio exercise would be needed) Timely or Timebound: 6 months from today (A timeline is set, but it may not be timely depending on what your research shows)

Now, here is your assignment. A person shares that they want to begin a new career. Their objective is:

I want to become a manager at a successful company. Use the above examples format and improve on your goal
