Коучинг лучше перевести как "наставничество" или "поддерживающее руководство". Слово "тренировка" не совсем точно передает суть процесса коучинга, так как коучинг включает не только обучение и развитие навыков, но и поддержку, мотивацию и помощь в достижении конкретных целей.

Вот несколько вариантов перевода:

1. Наставничество

2. Поддерживающее руководство

3. Обучение и поддержка

SMART goals

When setting work-related goals, we often use the acronym "SMART".

This means Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time-Bound.Конкретные, измеримые, достижимые, актуальные и ограниченные во времени.

Using these criteria can help you achieve your goals at work!

--------------------------------------------------

Метод SMART широко используется в управлении проектами, коучинге, наставничестве и постановке целей, чтобы обеспечить их достижение и успешное выполнение. Акроним SMART расшифровывается как Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-Bound, что в переводе на русский означает: конкретная, измеримая, достижимая,атуальная и ограниченная во времени.

Происхождение:

Метод SMART был впервые представлен в статье Джорджа Т. Доран в 1981 году в журнале Management Review. С тех пор этот метод широко использовался и адаптировался для различных областей и контекстов.

Метод SMART используется для создания четких и реалистичных целей. Давайте разберем каждую составляющую:

1. Specific (Конкретная):

   • Цель должна быть четко сформулирована и конкретна.

   • Пример: Вместо "Я хочу улучшить свои навыки общения" можно сказать "Я хочу пройти курс по улучшению навыков общения в течение следующих трех месяцев."

2. Measurable (Измеримая):

   • Цель должна иметь критерии, по которым можно измерить прогресс.

   • Пример: "Я хочу увеличить свою производительность на работе на 20% в следующие шесть месяцев."

3. Achievable (Достижимая):

   • Цель должна быть реалистичной и достижимой с учетом ресурсов и ограничений.

   • Пример: "Я хочу сдать экзамен на уровень B2 по английскому языку через год."

4. Relevant - актуальная:

   • Цель должна быть значимой и соответствовать вашим долгосрочным планам.

   • Пример: "Я хочу улучшить свои навыки программирования, чтобы получить повышение на работе."

5. Time-Bound (Ограниченная во времени):

   • Цель должна иметь четкие временные рамки.

   • Пример: "Я хочу закончить написание моей книги к концу этого года."

Пример постановки SMART-цели:

• "Я хочу увеличить количество чтений на моем блоге на 25% за следующие три месяца, публикуя по одной статье в неделю и активно продвигая их через социальные сети."

Использование метода SMART помогает улучшить концентрацию и мотивацию, делает цели более осязаемыми и управляемыми, а также позволяет эффективно отслеживать прогресс.

Origin and Usage of "SMART"

The SMART method is widely used in project management, coaching, mentoring, and goal-setting to ensure that objectives are achievable and successfully completed. The acronym SMART stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound.

Origin:

The SMART method was first introduced in an article by George T. Doran in 1981 in the journal Management Review. Since then, it has been widely adopted and adapted for various fields and contexts.

Usage:

The SMART method is used to create clear and realistic goals. Let's break down each component:

1. Specific:

   • The goal should be clearly defined and specific.

   • Example: Instead of "I want to improve my communication skills," say "I want to take a course on improving communication skills over the next three months."

2. Measurable:

   • The goal should have criteria to measure progress.

   • Example: "I want to increase my work productivity by 20% over the next six months."

3. Achievable:

   • The goal should be realistic and attainable considering the resources and constraints.

   • Example: "I want to pass the B2 level English exam within one year."

4. Relevant:

   • The goal should be meaningful and align with your long-term plans.

   • Example: "I want to improve my programming skills to get a promotion at work."

5. Time-Bound:

   • The goal should have a clear timeframe.

   • Example: "I want to finish writing my book by the end of this year."

Example of a SMART Goal:

• "I want to increase the number of readings on my blog by 25% over the next three months by publishing one article per week and actively promoting them on social media."

Using the SMART method helps improve focus and motivation, makes goals more tangible and manageable, and allows for effective progress tracking.
