PresidenTalks The Power of Goal-setting: The Secret Sauce for Personal and Professional Growth A big part of the Buffalo Wild Wings Culture is setting goals. Every team member at every level sets both a personal and professional goal within the first 90 days of joining the brand on a sauce bottle – a beloved BWW icon. This mindset is something I quickly connected to when joining the brand 4 years ago. Why do I love it so much? While I have always been a goal driven person, prior to joining BWW, I had never put a personal goal or career goal in writing. It had always been goals for my job or “to do lists.” I love this quick exercise so much that in 202 1 we did this activity as a

CHART board when we had a meeting at my support center in Atlanta. It was a great way to learn more about each other and drove some awesome discussion as a team. When we went through this exercise, I filled out a new sauce bottle with new goals. My previous personal goal was frankly vague, and being around this group inspired me to put down a tangible goal – “To become CHART President-Elect by September 2021.” Over the past two years I was fortunate to live out this goal by serving the CHART Membership as President-Elect and then President. This will be a time in my life I will always cherish. It has stretched me in ways that are different than my career and has given me so much opportunity to give back to this industry that I love. Thank you for this – to the current CHART board, the 3 prior boards I served on, the conference teams, the speakers, the volunteers, the Past Presidents, the mentors and collaborative peers I have gained, and the membership as a whole, THANK YOU! CHART has given me friendships that are unlike any other supporting me both professionally and personally. CHART literally connected me to the brand I work for and have grown my career in.
CHART has given me members of my team that I now get to work with daily. CHART has helped me achieve my career goals, as well as set and achieve a huge personal goal for professional development outside of my job – becoming CHART President. These past two years with CHART have given me the most development and fulfillment – something a goal you write down should give you! With my CHART presidency coming to an end, the wise words around, “when one door closes, another one opens” could not be truer for me personally. While I will continue to serve as an active member, advocate, and contributor to CHART, my presidency coming to a close is perfect timing for me to set a new personal goal… When I step out of the title of CHART President at the end of July, I get to take on an exciting new title of mom (it’s as if I timed it ). I guess it’s time to fill out a new sauce bottle. Raising a sauce bottle to all of you – the goal orientated trainers who help our industry achieve goals. Cheers,
2019-2021 CHART Board
