KEY TAKEAWAYS

 

• It is important to pause periodically and think about how things have gone and where you are going.
• Identify what went well, what could have gone better, and what went wrong, and what you would do differently.
• Ask yourself what you have learned and achieved.
• Learn and use the stop, start, continue method.
• Determine what your options are. Then pick the ones that will take you forward and help you to achieve your goals.
• Make a list of what you need to do to get you there.
• 2020 has been a difficult year, it is important to reflect on and recognize how you felt.
• Think about the positives as well as the negatives, for example, the way the CoVid crisis made us appreciate each other more.
• Many of us have learned new skills to adapt to the CoVid situation.
• Businesses have been forced to innovate and pivot.
• The CoVid crisis led Jeannette to create a new mentoring business, take on new advisory clients, and start this podcast.
• 2021 is going to be all around resettling and regrouping.
• There is likely to be a recession and Brexit is sure to have an impact too.
• Home and flexible working are both set to continue.
