In this episode of The Modern High Performer Podcast, I'm breaking down why traditional New Year goal-setting often backfires—and what to do instead. We're flipping the script with a method I've used myself and with clients: the 12-Week Year, a strategy inspired by the book by Brian Moran and Michael Lennington.

You'll learn how to:

  • Set focused, realistic goals that you can actually execute

  • Build momentum without getting lost in long-term vagueness

  • Anchor your plan in personal reflection and vision

  • Turn big goals into daily action through simple tactics

This isn't about hustle—this is about clarity, ownership, and aligned execution.

Here are the some great resources I wanted to share with you:
