Goal Setting with the Well-Formed Outcomes Model

Many people set goals but struggle to follow through because their goals are vague, unrealistic, or lack personal meaning. The Well-Formed Outcomes Model, developed within NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), provides a structured way to define goals so they are clear, achievable, motivating, and aligned with personal values.
