Other question ideas

When you are creating your Goal setting worksheet, here are some additional questions you may want to consider. These won't apply in every case, but should give you some ideas as you build out your form.

  • Who or what inspired you to set these goals?

    • This question can provide insight into the personal motivations or influences of the respondent, which can help in tailoring the coaching or consulting strategy.

  • How do you plan to measure your progress towards your goals?

    • This would give an indication of how quantifiable and realistic their goals are, and how analytically they approach their goal setting and measuring.

  • How do the goals you've set align with your long-term vision?

    • Understanding the respondent's long-term vision can provide a broader perspective on their current goals and whether those goals are in alignment with their vision.

  • What potential challenges do you foresee in achieving your goals?

    • This question can provide valuable insights into the respondent's self-awareness and ability to anticipate and prepare for potential obstacles.

  • Have you discussed these goals with anyone else? If so, who?

    • This can offer an idea of the respondent's support network, and whether they include others in their goal-setting process.

  • How do you intend to celebrate achieving your goals?

    • The answer can reveal their motivation level and how they value their achievements, which can be important for understanding their overall drive and commitment.

  • What habits or routines do you plan to implement to assist in achieving these goals?

    • This can give an idea of the respondent's discipline and their understanding of the importance of daily habits in achieving long-term goals.

  • How do your goals reflect your personal values and beliefs?

    • This question can help understand how much the respondent's goals are influenced by their personal beliefs and values, which can be crucial in understanding their motivations and commitment.

  • If you could seek guidance from any person, living or dead, who would it be and why?

    • This can provide valuable insight into the respondent's sources of inspiration and their aspirational figures.

  • What have been your key learnings from past successes or failures?

    • This can shed light on the respondent's ability to learn from past experiences and their resilience in the face of setbacks.

Things to consider

  1. Simplicity - Keep the form as straightforward as possible. Too many fields can overwhelm the user, which might result in them abandoning the form. Use clear, concise language in your questions.
  2. Mobile-Friendly Design - Ensure the form is responsive and user-friendly on mobile devices, as many users may access the form via their smartphones.
  3. Use of Appropriate Field Types - Use the right HTML5 field types for each question to make it easier for users. For instance, use 'date' for date inputs, 'email' for email addresses, etc.
  4. Validation - Implement validation rules to ensure that the user inputs data correctly. For example, the form should check that email addresses are in the correct format, and that all required fields are filled in.
  5. Progress Save Feature - If the form is long, consider implementing a 'save progress' feature. This allows users to save their work and return later without losing data.
  6. Privacy - Assure users that their data will be kept private and secure. Be clear about how you will use their data and stick to it.
  7. Feedback - After submission, provide a confirmation message to let users know their responses have been successfully received. Consider also providing a way for users to review and print their responses.
