Part 1 of Your Procurement Pivot Plan for 2026: A 4-Step Series to Set, Shape and Achieve Your Career Goals

This January, we are doing something different.

For the first time on the Procurement Pivots Podcast, we are releasing a guided 4-part series designed to help you set and achieve meaningful and sustainable career goals for 2026.

Unlike our usual episodes, we recommend listening to these four in order because each part builds on the last. 

By the end of the series, you will have a clear goal, a stronger plan and a far higher chance of sticking with it long after the early January motivation fades.

What we cover in Part 1:

In this opening episode, we help you get clear on the goal you genuinely want to pursue this year. Not the goal you think you should set. Not the one shaped by expectations or pressure. The one that will actually make a difference to your career and your wellbeing.

We explore:

• Why so many goals lose momentum by week three
• How to define your goal in a way that is specific, positive and meaningful
• The core questions that reveal what you truly want, even if it feels unclear right now
• How to sense check whether your goal is achievable without dampening your ambition
• Why grounding your goal in your personal values is essential
• How reflecting on last year’s proudest moments can help you choose the right focus this year

This episode gives you clarity, direction and the starting point you need to build a goal that feels authentic and energising.

Why this step matters:

A clear and well-aligned goal creates momentum.

A vague or misaligned goal creates stress and stagnation.

Part 1 ensures you set a goal that matters and one you will want to stay committed to as the year unfolds.
