Our Love/Hate Relationship With Goals

It’s the new year and some of us have been planning our new year’s resolutions for months, some of us haven’t and feel guilty about it, and some of us very strictly don’t do resolutions. Our culture is very keen on goal-setting and yet, we wonder how effective that is. 

In this episode, we sat down with our whole team to have a conversation about goals, when they work, and when they don’t.
