SaysWho? Goal Setting Study

 

Introduction

World Class Coaches® is conducting a Goal Setting Study for Young Adults. The study involves both males and females ranging in age from 18-25. This is a five year study beginning January 1, 2016 and ending December 31, 2020. Participants may enroll at anytime during the study period and will be monitored for five years from the date of their enrollment.

 

Purpose

The purpose of the study is to learn more about the patterns and practices of young adults in the areas of goal setting, goal attainment and the role The Says Who? message plays in the process. Data collected will be used to assist in the production of future Says Who? For Young Adults Works.

Key Points" could potentially have on your goal setting process and the attainment of your goals, if any, if they were consistently applied to your life?

Risks

Your participation does not involve any risks. However, if you have utilized or are currently utilizing a goal setting process which you have found to be beneficial, you are encouraged to maintain that plan.

 

Benefits

There may be no direct benefit to you for your participation in this research study. You will receive a complimentary copy of the book Says Who? The potential benefits to you from participation in this study may include a better understanding of a goal-setting process as well as other goal attainment activities outlined in the book. Because as part of the Says Who? approach, we believe there are no "right or wrong" answers to the process of goal-setting and goal attainment, we do not get into telling anyone what to do. Instead our role is to improve the quality of the research in identifying and practicing the basic fundamentals necessary for a more effective goal-setting and goal attainment process. Your participation in this study may further aid our understanding of the Says Who? approach as part of the process.
