  • Goal Setting with WOOP (Wish, Outcome, Obstacle, and Plan)

    WOOP is a science-based mental strategy that people can use to find and fulfill their wishes, set preferences, and change their habits. WOOP has better research behind it than SMART goals and yet most people have never heard of WOOP. Kim Rice will help you learn how to use WOOP in this engaging and practical course. You’ll learn how the obstacles that we think most impede us from fulfilling our wishes can actually help us to realize them.
