Young People's Guide to Goal Setting
James P. Desrosiers
GROWTHco Publishing

This is a practical, inspiring, and interesting manual on goal setting for parents, teachers, and mostly for youth. The process described leads participants through identifying the goal, establishing a deadline for its attainment, creating motivation, identifying the individual steps needed to accomplish the goal, scheduling these steps, establishing a tracking system, and identifying any possible obstacles that might arise.

The manual is a workbook that not only gives clear instructions, but also has numerous illustrations, charts, and forms to fill out as progress is made to achieving goals. It has been piloted in North Central Massachusetts schools with over 6,000 students with excellent results.

The author heads GROWTHco, a personal and professional development company specializing in individual goal setting, team goal setting, and employee productivity. The book may be ordered from this company by calling 978-827-3133 or by email at jimd@growthco.com.
