Doreen’s Planning Event: There are a number of goals that I have set for myself and for my life and these are the basis for this gathering (Doreen’s planning event). My objective is to formulate my goals and to work with you so I may achieve them. I hope to discuss some specific dreams, one by one and brainstorm about which steps are necessary in attaining them. We will then discuss what skills and support each person here can share with me and begin to define the specific roles we can all play. I appreciate the time that you have taken out of your schedules to be here today and would like to thank you for the support that you have already provided me with. I look forward to working together with you and feel confident that I will be able to achieve my goals with the support of my family and friends.
Brainstorming and plan of action: What are my goals and what support do I need in order to achieve them?
Employment: I want to further improve upon my computer skill and continue learning more about this technology. By doing this I will also be better prepared to look for a job as a switchboard operator. I understand that I will need to be retrained in this area of employment and am looking for ways to access such instruction.
In order for me to reach this goal I need people to assist me with finding places that offer both training and employment options and opportunities. I also need to develop more computer, reading and spelling skills.
