How many times have you asked yourself, ‘What’s the plan?’
The military specializes in teaching its members to quickly assess situations and develop short- and long-term decision making and planning models. Using these models can help make situations that could be stressful or chaotic clearer and more manageable – and you don’t have to be in the military to use them!
Join John Riotte as he explores military planning techniques and how they can help you control your everyday chaos. From planning to follow through, you’ll learn how to:
- Set clear expectations and realistic timelines
- Identify obstacles and strategize how to move past them
- Determine if help is needed, and who can provide it
- Perform an honest, constructive self-evaluation
Whether organizing a party or mapping out your professional development, a solid plan – with the flexibility to adapt to the unexpected – will help you take the first step and keep moving with confidence towards your goals.
