Most goal-setting starts with targets, milestones, and action plans.

But what if the quality of your goals depends less on what you want to achieve, and more on the foundation you're building from?

In this interactive workshop, Marcia Owen, leadership coach and change consultant, introduces a different way to think about professional growth. Rather than focusing solely on productivity frameworks and SMART goals, she explores how purpose, personal values, wellbeing, and self-awareness create more meaningful and sustainable success. Through practical exercises and reflection, the session helps independent professionals build goals that are aligned with who they are - not just what they want to accomplish.

  • Why adaptability and openness often create better opportunities than rigid planning

  • A practical framework to reflect, prioritise, and set more intentional goals

If you're looking to move beyond ticking off goals and instead create a career that's purposeful, resilient, and sustainable, this workshop offers a fresh perspective to help you start the year with clarity.  

How do I set meaningful career goals as an independent professional?

Start by understanding your values, strengths, and long-term purpose before defining specific goals. Goals that align with who you are tend to be more sustainable and motivating than goals driven purely by external achievements

Why is personal branding important for independent professionals?

Your personal brand helps clients understand the unique value you bring beyond your technical skills. A clear brand builds trust, differentiates you from others, and makes it easier for opportunities to find you.  

How can I stay motivated and consistent with my goals?

Break larger goals into manageable actions, review your progress regularly, and ensure your goals support your overall wellbeing. Sustainable routines and adaptability are often more effective than relying on motivation alone 

How can I balance career growth with wellbeing?

Treat wellbeing as part of your professional strategy rather than something separate. Maintaining your physical health, relationships, finances, and personal routines creates a stronger foundation for long-term performance and career success
