The purpose of this approach is to make goals specific with actionable tasks. Additionally, students often need guidance while working through this activity. Encourage them to include deadlines and/or time-frames for completing their tasks.  Goal-setting is an important part of leadership practice and also a way for students to manage the emotional ambiguity of the pre-departure period.
