    Evaluating Progress

    • Regular check-in points help identify if adjustments are needed to stay on track.

    Setting Long- and Short-term Goals

    • Long-term goals reflect values, skills, interests, and personality and can include a vision or mission statement.
    • Short-term goals support and help achieve long-term goals.
