HTL 087: How to Set and Reach Your Goals – 7 Steps to Make Your Goal a Reality, with Dr. Laura Jaget

Podcast

Since it is a brand new year, I am going to talk about how to set and reach your goals and the 7 steps you can take to make your goal a reality. Many see the new year as a blank slate. A fresh start. A time to set new goals and actually put some effort into making those goals a reality. And since motivation is usually at a high at this time of year, let’s use that momentum to really make those resolutions stick. For the last 7 years, I have been using this exact formula to set and reach my goals. Before I started doing it, every year just sort of bled into the next. It was just sort of a sloppy existence waiting for things to happen…

Podcast

Today we are talking about transforming education, and how Open Source Learning is an evolving philosophy in meeting the needs of learners in the 21st Century. I am speaking with Dr. David Preston, educator, consultant, and trailblazer in reforming education and changing the way students learn.

We all had to figure it out, and quickly at that. And, overall, it worked. This came as a surprise to many, but not to Dr. Preston. He has been using the public internet to engage and empower students since 2006. What is…

Podcast

One of the major relationship goals for many couples is how to work successfully with your spouse. Such a tricky concept.

You are investing in an important aspect of your life. A huge aspect of your life. And then the biggest decision is choosing your spouse. You are committing to this one person to be with and love with and…
