To see to what the participant needs is the only way to reach the goals. It doesnīt matter if they state that this employment program should reach a certain goal if the way to that goal doesnīt work for me.
Of course they can reason like you do with the grocery store but the goal will then not be met. I canīt act like someone else or be someone else to fit into a certain program. Itīs the program which needs to be made after what I tell them is important, what will be helpful and so on.
If itīs the other way around, which is often the case both within health care and employment services, people end up not getting the help they need. Itīs not for nothing many people seek help for many years without getting it.

When i go to the grocery store, i dont expect to hear about how anyone feels. I expect to find and pay for my groceries and go home. That is my part of the bargain. The store has theirs, the clerk have theirs. Everybody has a goal.
Maybe you could ask yourself, what are the agreed-upon goals in these employment sessions? If they are not what you want, maybe you can reach an altered agreement. But it may mean going to the grocery store and coming home empty-handed.
