Goal Achievers Network

Information on the Goal Achievers Network, an informal group that meets once each week to share goals and results, provide encouragement, challenge assumptions, brainstorm, and act as a valuable think tank for success.

Are you a goal achiever? Have you discovered how to relentlessly uncover the best outcomes in any situation?

This focus-series will help you move beyond the pace of change and create the results that you want.

The Goal Achievers Network meets once each week. During each one-hour session the group examines new ideas, explores opportunities, sets and reviews energizing goals, and through a series of deep conversations holds each other accountable for achieving those goals.

Benefits of the Goal Achievers Network

  • Gather impartial views on your current ideas
  • Share ideas and insights in an informal think tank
  • Practice serious, deeper conversations that uncover truth and build expanded personal capacity for learning and results
  • Obtain personal coaching and enjoy insights from coaching conversations of other high performers
  • Test ideas before entering risky endeavors
  • Gain feedback on your performance, personality, and effectiveness
  • Practice a shared leadership model that produces transformative success

Who Should Attend

  • People who are interested in setting and achieving powerful goals
  • People interested in developing their own success as well as the success of other people
  • People working to take their organizations, families, and communities to the next level of responsibility, accountability, and success


The Goal Achievers Network is not for everyone. It requires a level of commitment to the group and to your own success. To see if you might qualify, please review the following guidelines.

Goal Achievers Network Group Guidlines

2. Support each other emotionally.

Goal Achievers Program Values  

Giftedness: All people are gifted and we don't all know all of our gifts.

Awareness: Optimizing the awareness of our gifts leads to more frequent and robust use of those gifts. Increasing our awareness of the gifts of others helps us to relate, communicate, serve, and lead.

Education: Learning is forever. Everyday, everywhere, everybody.

Action: Sharing our gifts encourages happiness in our selves and in others. Encouraging others to share their gifts improves their ability to communicate, serve, and lead. 

Diversity: Our gifts vary from person to person and benefit from appreciating life's rich tapestry. 

Exploring: Our gifts and our lives are meant to be explored, utilized, shared,  optimized, and transformed. 

Practice: It all takes practice! Embrace imperfection and grow from there! 

Love: Love is a renewable, limitless resource. Love encourages more love. We are free to choose a loving response to any interaction. We, and others, benefit every time we choose a loving response.

Service: The essential question is, "How can I help?" 

Encouragement: Lifting, supporting, applauding, rewarding, and recognizing others increases practice and sharing.

Strength: There is more benefit to developing our gifts than in "fixing" our weaknesses...but we can't ignore our weaknesses. 

Humility: Nobody knows everything.

Adventure: Life is a learning adventure. Opening ourselves to the spontaneous and to the unexpected creates vast opportunities for learning.

Connection: Everything is connected. It benefits us to find ways to utilize our connections productively.

Compassionate Courage: The art of living and transforming lives requires a skillful, studied, spirit-filled development of compassion for others and the courage to lead.

Usefulness: Everybody has something to offer us.  We have something to offer to everyone else. Use each emerging situation productively, lovingly, and with openness to learning.
