Meet Your Guide

My name is Melissa, and I am sick and tired of the stereotypes of young professionals as lazy, unmotivated workers. When I was first starting out in business, I felt so frustrated with systems and definitions of success that were inconsistent with my values. I wanted to change the system. So I did. By setting goals using scientific principles I learned in graduate school, I redefined my life and vision of success.

Too many blogs and courses paint the process of goal setting as both transcendent and easy. This results in unhealthy self-talk such as: “I just couldn’t make that work. It must be me. I failed at this. I’m lazy.”

My goal with this course is to acknowledge that goal setting is uncomfortable and hard. It really sucks. But! If we lean into the suckage, we can use it to make amazing things happen. Let’s laugh together, love ourselves, and accomplish big things.

Important Additional Notes:

$
This course will not mention S.M.A.R.T. goals. That’s dumb.
$
This course will not make you feel like a failure. That’s unproductive.
$
This course not include the word, “transcendent.” That’s ridiculous.
