YOUR NEW YEAR’S REVOLUTION

Jan 8

I sincerely hope this new year is off to a steady start for you and everyone around you.

January always feels like a crescendo to me - a ramp up to something bigger and better - and it’s my hope that ‘better’ isn’t something you wait for this year, but rather something you pursue on your own terms - with intrinsic motivation, curiosity, and courage.

There’s a performative security we’ve gained from setting S.M.A.R.T goals year after year, but for those of us who’ve bounced around the corporate world, drafting those specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound goals has become an increasingly meaningless ritual.

Think about it:

How many of your annual review goals have transformed your career, or the culture of your organization?

Three? Two?
None?

If you want 2024 to be a truly transformational year for you - personally and professionally STOP waiting for S.M.A.R.T goals to motivate you, and START dedicating yourself to personal performance strategies that actually mean something to you!

For Example:

This year, I will outgrow my crappy grind > burnout > escape on vacation (repeat) cycle and enjoy work a little more every day.

***

This year, I will stop hiding behind imposter syndrome and cultivate relationships with a mentor or coach who will help me build confidence and influence in my sector.

***

This year, I will learn to coach my team through emotional blocks so we can build trust, gain traction, and tackle increasingly innovative projects.

And here’s one powerful question to help you get started:

What deep work have I been putting off that could make work better this year?
