At Team KK, we're big believers in the idea that words matter, and that being thoughtful about our desires can have a significant impact on the quality of our experiences.

Today, we're bringing you behind the scenes to our annual planning meeting as we wrap up Season 2 of the podcast and look ahead to our hopes for the company and ourselves in the coming year!

Part of what we like to do at the close of each year is to just take some time to take stock, to look back, and to name our desires for the year ahead. And part of this process involves setting intentions with a Word of the Year.

This ritual each year isn't complicated, but it's definitely one of my favorites. It might seem simple to encapsulate your desire in a Word of the Year, but it's actually a really vulnerable and empowering exercise. You're putting yourself out there, and you're sharing what that means with your team or your loved ones, and it sparks this energy of creation.

Setting your intentions with your whole heart is a way to tune into what matters most to you, and as part of our annual process at Team KK, it also means that we get to support each other in being able to feel our best inside of our work.

Today we're sharing how we do this exercise, what setting intentions for the coming year means for us, and what the Word of the Year is for each of us as we head into 2023! 

Thanks for a great 2022, and we’ll look forward to offering up more great conversations in the New Year. 

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• Why we do this exercise each year
• The steps we take to each determine our Word of the Year 
• Why we each chose our particular word
