As we all know, setting and achieving goals is a critical skill that helps students and youth to become more focused, motivated, and successful in all areas of life,  even during college years.   Goal Setting also fosters  a growth mindset to help students  take ownership of their learning and personal development.  However,  many students struggle with goal setting either due to a lack of knowledge on  how to set meaningful goals or missing the tools and support to achieve them.  As a result they may face challenges with: 

  1. Lower Academic Achievement       

  2. Reduced Motivation 

  3. Increased Anxiety and Stress           

  4. Low  Self-Esteem

  5. Limited Career Opportunities

  6. (And for some ) a Higher Risk of Substance Abuse​

Heralded as the #1 Goal Setting Strategist and Instructor who has worked with countless students firsthand (Howard University, Community College of Phila, Dobbins, Fels, & Overbrook H.S, and  featured on 6 ABC and 10 NBC,  Wanda's Goal Setting Action guides, lesson and classes are committed to helping students  overcome these challenges and develop the life skills and mindset needed to set and achieve meaningful academic and personal goals which will help to flourish success into their future endeavors.

(In Honor of Latia)

(As seen on 6 ABC)

THE DATA IS IN... as per the Gun Violence Archive, over 6,000 youth/students fell victim to gun violence in the United States in the previous year.

 

Shockingly, guns have now become the leading cause of death among young people in the U.S. This alarming statistic hits close to home for Wanda, spurred by the loss of her niece, Latia Jones, a 20-year-old aspiring Forensic Psychologist at Temple University, who was fatally shot while spending time with a friend on their porch.

​

In response to these distressing realities and in honor of her niece, Wanda crafted this Goal Setting Action Guide, NOT TO FOCUS ON GUN VIOLENCE but to aim, inspire and educate youths and students to focus on setting and achieving meaningful goals, academically and personally while fostering purpose and growth. It serves as a deterrent from negative influences and risky behaviors prevalent among today's youth.

​

​

In this comprehensive ActionGuide, your youth/students will discover practical, proved goal setting principles and strategies essential for pursuing their goals and dreams.  The guide covers key topics such as: 

​

  • The significance of having goals.

  • How to properly and strategically set and write and review goals for academic and personal success.

  • Understanding S.M.A.R.T goals

  • and much more...

​

These tools will equip your students with the knowledge they need to achieve their full potential in the classrooms and beyond. .

***We accept purchase orders from schools and offer bulk discounts on orders of at least ten books.
