### Step 3: Enter your goal details

Fill out the goal form fields. Typical fields include:

1. **Goal name** – give your goal a clear, specific title (e.g. “Complete 10 quality coaching sessions per fortnight”).
2. **Goal type / metric** – select what you’re measuring (e.g. sessions, behaviours, calls, etc.).
3. **Target value** – enter the number or level you’re aiming for (e.g. 10 sessions).
4. **Due date** – choose the time period for your goal.
5. **Skillset or area of focus** – pick the Skillset this goal relates to so your coaching targets the right skills.
6. **Description / notes** – briefly explain why this goal matters or any context your leader should know.
