The Magic of Integral Goal Setting

The Soulful Leader Podcast

Jan 2 2024 • 20 mins

Goal setting is top of mind for everyone right now.
Are you inspired or a bit jaded?
What if you could do it differently?

Integrating (verb): To make into a whole by bringing all parts together; unify.

Goals have traditionally been about achieving something 'out there'", something separate from us. The catch is that whatever we're seeking 'out there', is also inside us. That's a foreign concept and most often the things we seek seem very separate from us. The people who integrate, or unify, those distinct parts, are the ones who experience magic in their lives.

How do we make that shift?

That is the journey we go on with Stephanie and Maren in this week’s podcast.

The old way of “that's my goal. I have to achieve it. Run over everything and make it happen at all costs (including to yourself and others)”, is done.

Instead integral goal setting goes broader and deeper, getting into the meaning behind the goal to create transformation. What if pursuing, and achieving, our goals was meant to do more than get us a pat on the back? What if goals were meant to develop us, evolve who we will become?

“We're taught that the goal is there to achieve it. Yeah, not that it's, it's to evolve who we are.” - Maren

That is true wealth.
