Fireside Chats – Career Goals Setting Workshop with Rodi Tountcheva

The beginning of the year is a great time to reset and define goals for professional and personal growth. Our Data for Hope™ Education Program cohort recently participated in a goal-setting talk and workshop with Rodi Tountcheva, Head of Custom Projects for ATLytiCS Inc.. Rodi shared her personal growth methodology:

– Start by reflecting and knowing yourself. This includes recognizing how far you’ve come, what your strengths and weaknesses are, and what you want to achieve.

– Create a personal mission and vision statement. Every decision brings you closer or farther from your goals and having mission and vision statements can help you focus on what matters.

– Define your goals and make sure they are SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and timely). Revisit your goals often and pivot as needed.

– Stay motivated. Trust the methodology, stay curious and take your goals seriously. Be kind to yourself if you encounter setbacks and celebrate your progress.
