In this transition-focused webinar, Trenell Walker combines professional expertise, lived experience, and the Ziglar seven-step goal-setting process to help professionals support transition-age youth in turning meaningful aspirations into practical plans. Participants learn to develop goals that are personal, meaningful, and specific while recognizing that the pathway toward a goal may need to change when barriers arise.
The session guides participants through identifying a goal, listing its benefits, anticipating obstacles, determining needed skills and knowledge, identifying a support team, creating an action plan, and establishing a flexible completion date. Trenell connects each step to his own experience of adapting his goals and building a new career after a spinal cord injury.
The webinar also introduces the TRENELL Effect – Take Action, Resilient, Encourage, Never Quit, Evaluate, Learn, and Love – as a framework for promoting resilience, self-determination, self-advocacy, career exploration, growth, and supportive relationships throughout transition planning.
