And the important follow-up question: How will you make that happen?

If you set goals but don’t seem to reach them,

or if you reach goals but they don’t seem to matter much,

or if you avoid goals altogether in an effort to avoid disappointment,

you’re not alone.

But what if you could change all that – simply by changing your method?

Here’s the thing:

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to goals that works for everyone. We each have different personalities, motivation styles, preferences, life circumstances, and so on.

And trying to force your unique strengths and values into a one-way-only method could squelch the very aspects that inspire you to take action and lead you to more easeful, meaningful success.

I’d like to help you do things differently.

I’d like to help you set yourself up for a flourishing 2026 – and have the clarity, plans, tools, and guidance to achieve meaningful goals that matter. Goals that you are motivated to move toward, excited to accomplish, and inspired by due to the positive, purposeful difference they will make all along the way.

I want you to have the incredible vision, the clear action plan, and all the encouragement and support you need to make the next year your most meaningful and difference-making one yet.

Welcome to your Bold Goals Coaching Session!

New for Autumn 2025, you can enroll (while space remains) in a one-time, one-hour coaching session to help you decide and design your most bold and difference-making goals for 2026!

Your enrollment includes:

* A brief self-assessment to help you begin clarifying your thoughts, ideas, and possibilities before we meet for our coaching call.

* A Values Clarification tool, because in order for your goals to be truly meaningful they need to connect to your values.

* A one-hour, one-on-one coaching session with Dr. Christi Hegstad, a highly-experienced and extensively-trained coach with a proven track record of success.

* Tailored-to-you metrics that will actually motivate you into action and be meaningful for you upon achievement.

* The Bold Goals Planning + Tracking workbook, filled with over 75 pages of tools, templates, and exercises to support your meaningful achievement all year long.

While we’ll use a proven framework to establish your goals, we will fully customize and tailor it to meet your needs. (The beauty of one-on-one coaching!) We’ll also incorporate principles from psychology and neuroscience, such as Appreciative Inquiry and the PERMA model for well-being, to help you set positive, meaningful goals that matter.

You can expect to leave your session with a clear vision for what you will create in 2026, your top-tier bold and difference-making goals, and the tools and resources to support your meaningful success along the way!

Let’s Do Things Differently

There’s an old adage reminding us that if we want different results, we need to do things differently. If you are tired of setting the same goals year after year and not seeing the results, or if you’ve had success and would like to up-level it without up-leveling the exhaustion and burnout along with it, or if you’d like to bring more meaning and purpose to life through your goals, make sure you enroll in a Bold Goal Coaching Session while space is available.

Next year at this time, you’ll be so glad you did!
