April Professional Development Event Recap

SWE Professional Development Recap – Goal Setting Workshop

April 26, 2022

On Tuesday April 26, SWE Dallas members gathered at the Common Desk in Bishop Arts (donated to us by A Sister’s Legacy) for a goal setting workshop. Facilitated by Gretchen Landego, members watched a comical, yet impactful video on the importance of setting goals by Billy Riggs. This was followed by a TED Talk by Time Ferris on “Why You Should Define Your Fears Instead of Your Goals”. Members then reflected on their own goals and fears using a printed worksheet outlining important factors such as the cost of inaction and clearly defining ways to prevent and repair our fears. After this reflection and meaningful conversation, the group walked down to Picole pops for a sweet treat. The group’s popsicles were sponsored by Terriekka Cardenas, an incredibly kind and generous gift to the event! A Sister’s Legacy set up a pop up shop where members could purchase her homemade jewelry and gifts. Purchases support their mission of free and accessible therapy for seniors and other populations in need!
