12 Months of Wonderful!
Happy New Year all! I had such a wonderful New Years Eve I think I cracked my hip dancing too hard lol! I have been limping around all hopped up on Tylenol and Advil since we rang 2024 in and let me tell you it offers a totally new way to usher in resolutions and goal planning as well as objectively thinking about being mid-age and disco gyrations ;]
Through some forced rest these past few days I have happily been thinking about career success and resolutions. 2024 is here in all its glory which means you have a wonderful 12 month window to advance/pivot/create the career you desire and deserve! 12 months of positive opportunities to dream, create, build, share, partner up with, reinvent, start, stop, shift, reexamine, launch, learn and more.
Wow!
That is pretty wonderful don’t you think and you have 12 new shiny, sparkly months to create inspiring change in your life.
Time to get cracking!
Career success means different things to different people including how you live your life in balance and what you want from your career. Have you thought about your goals lately? If not now is the perfect time to start this reflection and get planning. Have you been looking for a more successful career, a better job, a higher salary, or a more robust skill set and knowledge base? What have you been mulling over?
To get you started I have outlined 12 sustainable career resolutions below to get your juices flowing. Grab a piece of paper or that new jazzy journal you have had kicking around and start making your achievable list. The key here is achievable and sustainable. Resolutions often fail because they are TOO BIG or too lofty. Keep your career goals clean & simple and enjoy the next 12 months of wonderful coming your way. Cheers to 2024!
