The next FINE meeting is scheduled for 9:00 A.M., Thursday, June 19 in the Westport Library. The agenda for this meeting follows:

9:00 to 9:15 Networking
9:15 to 9:30 FINE Business
9:30 to 10:30 "SMART Goal-Setting for Entrepreneurs" presented by Pat Van Haste of Van Haste Associates
10:30 to 11:00 More networking

Entrepreneurs learn the ins and outs of short and long term goals setting and their importance when, on the very first day, they open their doors to business. However, with the stresses of work and family, it is easy to lose control of goal setting as well as the realization that truly thoughtful goal setting really drives everything we do well.

In her presentation to FINE, Pat Van Haste of Van Haste Associates, Trumbull, Career Coaching and Consulting, will review the SMART principle with her audience and discuss how to apply SMART to business and family life. Using hands-on exercises designed to practice short and long term goals setting, audience members will reconnect to SMART and will learn to make a habit to apply SMART in both business and life decisions.
