046: Goal Setting and Strategies

A discussion on setting up successful goals

Welcome to A BATTLE WITHIN, Episode 046

Today on A BATTLE WITHIN, Terry and Drew explore Goal Setting.

It seemed appropriate as this recording happened on New Year’s Eve and people are generally considering goals and “New Year Resolutions and goals”

They review some of the aspirations, goal setting results and lessons learned that Terry had from the previous year and what’s the approach going forward.

Setting goals in the TBI/PCS community can be quite different than the traditional setting, so we will hit on some of those specifics from our perspectives as well.

Terry and Drew also pass along some insights and strategies that may be helpful to you as you lay out your goals in the new year. This includes for the people filling the caregiver role as well.
