3.4 Planning Tools

The last thing I would like to share with you is what I consider to be a really very valuable website. Has no connection to me, no connection to the university, but a website that can be a tremendous web, website, a resource to you. Some of you may be already acquainted with it. I use this in classes that I teach. I use this for assignments for individual students. I use this for, for development of leaders and managers. This website is mostly free. This website says there are some 900 individuals, tips and techniques and tools that are available to you mostly free. In my experience some 50% of those 900 are free. And if you go to this website called mindtools.com, mindtools.com, you will see over on the left, mid to lower left, you will see 12 filing cabinets, navigation buttons, that are filled with resources. Those nine navigation buttons look like this, communication skills, strategy skills, stress management, time management, creativity. You need help with figuring out your career, your job, your transition, what you want to do. Tools and techniques available for you. Project management decision making. Nine, excuse me, 12 file cabinets full of folders with techniques and tools to help you. Professional business leader, team leader, emerging leader, student, scholar. Twelve tools to help you focus and get control of where you are going. To age you in your journey, an awesome website, mindtools.com. Today in this module, we focused on four areas. We looked at planning, the hierarchy of planning. The main thing in the plan is goal setting. We looked at a technique to help with goal setting. We came back and looked at, so how does the planning process work? And lastly looking at a valuable website that can be a tremendous resource to you and your journey. Thank you. I look forward to having you back in the next module.
