Life + Leadership

The start of a new year can be a time of thoughtful reflection, happy planning and goal setting. Let's think about what you want to do, not what you think you should do in the new year. Quit "shoulding" yourself already and notice we did not use the "R" word: resolutions! In our first podcast of 2018, we are happy to bring you our annual reflection and goal setting best practices as well as instructions for how to find your central word, symbol or theme of focus for the year. Wait until you hear how well these things have served us over the years. We know you'll find something new to experiment as you kick off this new year. Cheers!

Themes explored in this week's episode: ● What we've learned from 15 years of annual reflection and goal setting ● Personal stories of what some of our annual word selection were and how they have impacted our life trajectories ● Choosing one word, theme or symbol to focus on for the year helps you slice through the noise and attract what you want ● How to find one word, theme or symbol to focus on for the year ● A daily money gratitude exercise ● How to make plans but remain healthily detached from the outcome ● The value is as much in the process of planning as the actual plan

The holidays can be a really tough time for people for a number of reasons. Typical complaints revolve around specific relatives or family dynamics, too much travel, financial stress, pressure from work to hit annual goals. With so many podcasts and blogs devoted to "surviving the holiday," we want to challenge you to think about it differently. How might it feel to own your holidays instead of letting them own you? We will take you through an exercise that will help you have more of what you love this time of year and release what you loathe!

Themes explored in this week's episode: • Why the holidays can be tough • Personal stories of holidays past and present • Shedding your holiday inheritance • Spending the holidays alone and how you may be robbing others of joy • Leaning into other people's traditions • Addressing the joy sabotager of too many holiday activities • How to create new traditions • Exploring what you love about the holidays and how to have more of that • Identifying what you loathe about the holidays and how to release it • Two powerful questions to ponder on your own time
