Measuring success
Q&A
Who? EVERYBODY!
“I intend to judge things for myself; to judge wrongly, I think, is more honourable than not to judge at all.”- Henry James
What? Understanding where you are now
Working out where you want to be
Creating a plan on how to get from here to there
Where? Events (C-REL, R-REL, etc) – judging, scorekeeping, playing
Conferences/seminars
Forums
Job/college/school
Social groups
When? EVERYDAY!
Why? Improve skills
Expand knowledge
Increase experience
Achieve goals
Have more fun
"Nature knows no pause in progress and development, and attaches her curse on all inaction.“- Goethe
What are your goals? What do you want from the judge programme?
What do you want from being a judge?
What can you use away from judging?
Do you have feedback/reviews to include?
Are you looking to progress towards a higher level?
Turning goals into objectives Break goals down into categories then into individual items
Be SMART
Specific – make sure there is an actual “thing” to do
Measured – you should be able to determine success or not
Attainable – can you actually do this thing
Relevant – is this something that matters
Timed – there should be a deadline
Write it down
Show it somebody
Building the plan Set a high level vision of where you want to be in 1, 3, 5
years etc
Define areas that are appropriate for your vision
Work out objectives that will help you improve in those areas
Set review periods
“The measure of success is not whether you have a tough problem to deal with, but whether it is the same problem you had last year”
-John Foster Dulles
Reflect and Review Revisit plan every few months or after a target date
Determine whether you have met your objectives
Note any additional steps or actions you need to take
Update plan with new objectives, timelines or measures
Check existing objectives still relevant
“No man really becomes a fool until he stops asking questions.”
- Charles Steinmetz
