Effortless Goal Setting with the C.L.E.A.R. Framework
Why do most goals fall apart within weeks? In this episode of Change Agent Leadership, Executive Coach Jonathan Hankin reveals the 5 reasons goals often fail—and introduces a powerful, practical tool to fix them: the C.L.E.A.R. Goal Framework.
C.L.E.A.R. stands for:
• Clarity – Define success in measurable, actionable terms
• Link to Purpose – Connect your goal to what really matters
• Evaluate – Break goals down into weekly, trackable steps
• Accountability – Share goals with someone who will challenge and support you
• Reflect & Adjust – Review regularly and adapt to stay on track
Whether you’re a leader driving change, a professional aiming for growth, or a team looking for alignment, this framework will help you set goals that actually work—and stick.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
• Why vague goals and lack of structure sabotage progress
• How to align your goals with your personal values and team mission
• The exact questions to ask when creating new goals
• How to build habits and systems that make change sustainable
