I have mentioned in previous blogs some of my reflections when \u201cworking out\u201d at the gym. I set myself a target some years ago to do 2km on the rowing machine most weeks and what followed has been a love\/hate relationship with a machine that has tested me in many ways.<\/span><\/p>\n

This week the thought struck me how lessons from the machine can support what we can achieve through Student Led Conferences. <\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Goal setting <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Before we start we need to set ourselves a goal – SMART – Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Timely. For me that would mean finishing the 2km inside 8 minutes 20 which I have found quite challenging recently! <\/span><\/p>\n

    2.\u00a0<\/span>Tracking<\/span><\/p>\n

    While rowing it is important we keep an eye on the data on the control panel – this helps us to maintain the pace we need to reach our target – similar to the baseline and progress data we can share in SLCs.<\/span><\/p>\n

    3.\u00a0<\/span>Motivation<\/span><\/p>\n

    At times it is great if we can have someone encourage and guide us on how we can improve our performance – sometimes advice from a Personal Trainer or praise from family and friends can make a huge difference.<\/span><\/p>\n

    8 minutes does not seem to be a long time but I am sure we can all see how lessons from my weekly time trial mirror the importance the Student Led Conferences can be.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Growing greatness – Kia mana ake!<\/span><\/p>\n
