Working on your dreams and ambitions is a good thing to do no matter what stage of your life you’re at. A brilliant time to do just that is in the 6th form when your education and working career stretches out ahead of you. Without goal setting and connecting up with the motivational reasons why you want to succeed in a given vocation there’s a chance of drift and ending up in a job you don’t like which doesn’t fit your talents with the inability to see a way out.
SATRO has developed i-Map, a short, highly interactive workshop designed to inspire students to become more motivated and positive about their futures. This programme enables each student to design a powerful vision for their future and to create a route map for success which they can use to steer themselves through school and life.
Two i-Map sessions were delivered to years 12 and 13 at Gordon’s School, Woking, on 19th and 21st September providing them with the opportunity to consider their futures and create smart goals with actions and milestones which make it more likely that they will achieve their ambitions. A fundamental part of the workshop is engaging with the key principles of success enabling students to reflect on what personal power they have to make choices, to know they are always good enough and learning from mistakes means ultimate success. All students had plenty of food for thought and tools with which to create a compelling future for themselves.
The teachers and students at Gordon’s were delighted with the workshop, illustrated by their comments...
Student comments...
"Know that visualisation is an effective technique – not focusing on what could happen if things go wrong, but what could happen when things go right."
"I understand the importance of setting goals and striving towards it!"
Teacher comment...
"Pupils encouraged to think about new topics and in new ways - it made them think."
