  1. Focusing On Goals With Your Match bbbs.stepitup2thrive.org

  2. Breaking Down GPS • Goal Selection Choosing Your Destination • Pursuit of Strategies Sticking to a Plan * Showing Persistent Effort * Checking Your Progress • Shifting Gears Substituting Strategies * Seeking Different Help

  3. Think about your Little... • Do you know any of your Little’s personal goals yet? What are they? • Can you see any emerging from their Sparks? • Reflection Point: • Should you set goals for your Little?

  4. Goals should be MRS! Meaningful Realistic Stretching = MRS In your own words, what do those three things mean?

  5. What would you do… • If your Little had a goal in an area you had no experience or interest in? • If you were sure your Little’s goal was really his best friend’s and not his?

  6. Think about your Little... Name 1-2 skills your Little has that will help in setting and working to achieve goals? _________________ __________________ How much initiative does your Little take? How much encouragement does your Little need?

  7. Where to start… • Talk to and encourage your Little to identify a few MRS goals • Ask your Little to reflect on strengths and challenges • Role model selecting and working on goals • Plan match activities that support your Little’s goals • Make it a habit to check in with your Little about his/her goals • Be creative, adapt, and have fun! • Attend the Thriving GPS Group Activity!

  8. Let’s look at an example… Little: Alex, age 13 Spark: Hip Hop music and mixing music Goal: To learn more about what it takes to be a VJ and someday to be one Strengths: Proactive about researching and talking to local DJs about how they got to where they are Challenges: Gets bored easily with his plan

  9. How could a Big support Alex? • Talk about: • People, places, and activities to gain more exposure and learn more about music • Finding motivation when you get bored • Whether or not the goals are MRS • Identify match activities that are supportive of his goals…. • Search for music on YouTube • Try out new music at free or inexpensive concerts • Visit a sound engineer or VJ at a studio

  10. What was accomplished? • People/places/activities for more media exposure • Alex used a video format for his destination postcard and interviews. And completed some free tutorials online. • Finding motivation when you get bored. • Alex created a visual for inspiration • Alex used the visual as an Action Trigger • Set more realistic goals that are still meaningful and stretching • Alex built up to one hour of listening slowly

  11. Which of the GPS Skills Were Used? • People/places/activities for more media exposure • Seeking different help • Finding motivation when you get bored. • Sticking to a plan • Showing persistent effort • Set realistic goals that are still meaningful and stretching • Choosing your destination

  12. THANK YOU!
