What makes intention setting so powerful is that it is more about the being than about the doing. If we fail to attend to our intentions, we risk not only missing our goals, but missing out on the experience we want to have while we pursue them.

I'm sure that your organization has plans and goals for the year. And I expect you to have some for yourself as well. We need those things. We need goals. We need plans. Or stuff would have trouble getting done. 

But the piece that we often overlook or don't give enough attention to is the idea of setting intentions. The truth is we set intentions all the time. We just may not be aware of it. We may also not be aware of how incredibly powerful those intentions can be in governing how we operate in the world. And crucially, governing whether or not we're able to reach those goals and fulfill on those plans that we set for ourselves. 

In this episode, we share:

• How the intentions we set (consciously or unconsciously) affect how we show up and the actions we take
• The key to setting powerful intentions that will serve you well
• How to avoid the hazard of setting unconscious intentions that do not serve you 
• The difference between resolutions and intentions, and why it matters
• How to set intentions that will support new habits you’re trying to develop
• How to keep your actions aligned with the intentions you’ve set

If you found value in this episode, please share it with other progressive nonprofit leaders.  And I’d be grateful if you would leave a rating and review on Apple podcasts, which will help even more people find out about this podcast.
