HEART Goals™ — A Framework for Modern Leadership and Sustainable Performance

HEART Goals™ is more than a goal-setting method — it’s a leadership framework designed for organizations navigating modern change, performance pressure, and evolving workforce expectations.

The HEART Goals™ framework redefines how organizations approach leadership, goal-setting, and execution — aligning people, purpose, and performance sustainably.

Your people are your greatest competitive advantage. HEART Goals™ helps organizations develop leaders, future-proof teams, and unlock aligned performance through a structured leadership framework created by Charlene Ridley.

Today’s organizations face complex challenges: retaining top talent, leading through AI-driven change, and building cultures that thrive under pressure.

I partner with corporations, nonprofits, and executive teams to deliver leadership development programming and strategic workshops powered by the HEART Goals™ methodology — a disruptive framework designed to help leaders set Holistic, Energizing, Aligned, Realistic, and Task-Driven goals that drive aligned results without employee disengagement, dissatisfaction and burnout.

Why HEART Goals™ Works in Corporate Environments

Aligning Performance With Purpose

Traditional corporate goal-setting focuses on KPIs and metrics but ignores alignment, engagement, and sustainability. HEART Goals™ shifts this dynamic by helping leaders:

  • Holistic → Integrate business objectives with people-first strategies.

  • Energizing → Set goals that inspire action and boost employee engagement.

  • Aligned → Ensure objectives are connected to the organization’s purpose.

  • Realistic → Drive outcomes without burning out teams.

  • Task-Driven → Break strategic objectives into clear, actionable steps.

Traditional Goal Setting Falls Short

67% of corporate goals fail due to misalignment, disengagement, or burnout.
The HEART Goals™ framework changes this by connecting strategy to purpose and giving leaders a repeatable system to achieve sustainable success.
