TATING – A Framework for Personal Growth or Goal Setting

T – Think
Pause to reflect and think deeply about your goals, actions, and the broader vision of what you want to achieve. This stage is about assessing your starting
point and clarifying your intentions.

A – Assess
Evaluate your current reality, strengths, weaknesses, and available resources. Understand where you are right now in order to make informed decisions
going forward.

T – Target
Set clear, focused goals that are aligned with your values and vision. Ensure that your targets are specific, measurable, and attainable.

I – Initiate
Take action. Begin moving toward your goals with purpose and momentum. The key here is to start, even if it means taking small, manageable steps.

N – Nurture
Support and cultivate your progress. Stay committed, seek feedback, adjust when needed, and nourish the relationships and habits that will sustain your
journey.

G – Grow
Reflect on your progress, learn from challenges, and expand your capabilities. Continually refine your approach and celebrate your growth, knowing that
each step brings you closer to your full potential.
This framework could be useful for goal-setting, personal development, or coaching sessions. The TATING model emphasizes a thoughtful approach to goal
progression, from reflection and assessment to action and ongoing growth.
