Great Goal Setting Will Align Lives

Hello again

Here's a useful tool I came across a couple of days ago when I was looking for something completely different. Life Aligner, from coach Darren Cockburn, is a piece of software designed to assess your or your clients' current life and how well it 'aligns' with the ideal - whatever that ideal may be.

By placing ten aspects of daily life into descending order of importance (ideally) you can then compare that with how much time, effort or maybe worry you actually spend on each - again, in descending order.

The software then produces an 'alignment' percentage. Of course, the aim to be as close to 100% as possible. The software can also be used to record and track a series of targets - one for each aspect.

The list of ten life aspects seems comprehensive but you can edit them if you wish.

You'll find it on the website http://www.greatgoalsetting.com, where you'll see coach Darren Cockburn is also offering a free 85-page downloadable 'Life Tools' ebook and one hour's free coaching until the end of August.

This is a free trial version of the software but it already seems like a very useful tool for you and your coaching clients. Being free, you can advise all your clients to use it, although you might not want to tell them about the free coaching!

I'm looking forward to seeing and reviewing the full version of the software, which is currently under development.Once again, you can find Darren Cockburn's 'Life Aligner' at http://www.greatgoalsetting.com.
