How Couples Set Goals When They Have Different Values & Priorities with Geoff Woods

If you're like many high achieving Dads, you probably know a thing or two about setting goals. But where a lot of guys struggle, is when it comes to creating and developing goals as a couple.

What happens if you're a goal setter, but your partner isn't? This can be a big point of contention in a relationship. But when you and your spouse are able to fully understand each other's core values, even when they don't totally match, it can allow your relationship to thrive.

Joining me today to talk about this is my good friend Geoff Woods. Geoff is the Vice President of The ONE Thing and the host of The ONE Thing podcast. He’s on a mission to help people better invest their time and get better results – in all areas of life. Over the years, Geoff has helped many couples in all kinds of situations achieve success in their relationships. If things are going well, he can help you make them even better. And if they’re not, well, he knows how to get you back on track.

Today’s conversation is a great one. We’re discussing the importance of goal setting as a couple and the impact it can make in your life. Last year, Tatyana and I attended a couples’ goal setting retreat led by Geoff and his business partner Jay Papasan, and we experienced major breakthroughs. This year, Geoff will be offering this retreat virtually. If this is something that interests you (and by the end of this episode you’ll know if it’s for you), simply go to FrontRowDads.com/goals to get more information and enroll.
