December Hot Take: Who Do You Want to Be Next Year?

It's already time to make space in your exceedingly full schedule to plan your goals for next year. So why does this happen to us, every year? I propose it's because we go about planning all wrong. We start with all the things we think we “should” want, rather than focus on what's already going right and setting intentions into motion that not only get us where we want to go, but give us more ease, flow, and clarity. Today,I share how you can set meaningful goals based on your values and some different ways you can look at planning for the new year. And how a new perspective  on asking the right question can lead to more joy, ease - and success.  Happy holidays, in whatever way you celebrate and catch you in the new year. Thank you for being part of my community!  Key Takeaways:Your values can support your goals, rather than being contorted to fit after the fact. You can set meaningful goals for your business, just like you can for yourself, you just need to understand who you, as a company, want to be in the next year. When you ask questions about how your employees and stakeholders feel about your organization, the goals that are made after that understanding will be supported by the understood culture and mission. "It is possible to holistically align our professional and personal goals for more joy, but only if they're supported by asking the right questions." —  Maria Ross References Mentioned:Book: Who Do I Want to Become? Don’t forget to download your free guide!
