Project Description

On March 22, 2014 took place the personal development conference entitled “Strategic Planning”, held by Ryan Howell as a motivational speaker and graduate of the master in the Harvard Univ. , USA, and his assistant Bob Atherton, founder of Amirah.

The conference was attended by 35 guests who enjoyed and learned from Ryan and Bob’s experience.

At the conference we’ve learned that when you want to strategically plan an activity, you have to consider the following six areas:

  1. physical
  2. emotional
  3. mental
  4. spiritual
  5. social
  6. vocational

If we talk about strategic planning in steps that one has to commit doing, then we have the following steps:

1. Development
The first step is to develop your vision of your propose in writing. Define on paper (or computer) how do you want the result for each of the areas above look like.

2. Planning
In this step you have to focus on the processes that takes you to your destination. You must ask yourself what you should do: every year, every 6 months, every month, every week and every day to get to your destination.

3. Action
Create your own schemes to accomplish your planned activities and look to be persistent, so you’ll develop a personal system that will empower productivity.

4. Evaluation
Take the time to analyze all the events that happened form which you can draw conclusions. It is important to write them on paper. Answer to the following: what worked, what didn’t work, and why?
Celebrate your victories and don’t forget to enjoy the ride!

One who chooses to strategically plan the activities of his life will enjoy:

  • more time and less stress ;
  • will know where he is going ;
  • will be alert to opportunities that arise around him ;
  • will know when to say yes and when to say no ;
  • will find truths of life ;
  • and will have purpose, peace and a legacy.

We thank our guests Ryan Howel and Bob Atherton for the time they spent with us and to all our participants without which there would have been no conference.

We encourage you to apply these practices and taking control of your life !
