Some people create New Year’s resolutions that rarely stick. Instead, I create an “annual theme” to rally around. It’s a mantra to use throughout the year to continually test whether I am moving in the right direction. It’s the one thing that is most important to you. It can be a goal, but I typically find one or two words that encapsulate all areas of your life.
For example, early on in my career, it was “World-Class” where I continually assessed if everything I was doing was indeed “World Class.” Another year was “Simplify” because things just got a bit too complicated and I felt like I needed to simplify all aspects of my life!
This year, I escaped to Saint Martin for six days to create my annual theme along with my strategic plan. This year, the theme is “Vitality” as I am looking at infusing more strength and energy into all that I do.
What’s your theme for 2024?
