Before you make your 2020 goals, go back and reflect on 2019. It doesn't matter if you didn't hit the goals you set last year. Your impact was far greater than you will ever know. You need to be proud of your impact and to really see it. Because what you see is just scratching the surface of who you’re helping. Take time to reflect on everything that happened and consider the impact you made in the last year. When you do that, you're able to show up every day trying a little harder to be at your best. And that's when the magic truly happens. You’ll never really know the extent of your impact. But you’re making it, especially when you’re not afraid to live authentically and share from your heart.

One door closes and another opens. Most people agree with this common phrase. Still, it’s hard to embrace any positive outlook when you’re going through a major career disappointment or workplace catastrophe. I interviewed my Radical Forgiveness Coach, Lorree Appleby, about how to move past career missteps so you can fully step into your greatness at work. She covers what to do when you’re passed over for a promotion and how to handle toxic colleagues, amongst other nasty situations you may encounter on the job.

The world of work is in flux. No doubt, our children will have a very different career reality than we do. As much as we want to prepare our kids with the right education, what will ultimately create their success is their outlook about work. The truth is, your kids’ perception about work is almost entirely influenced by you and your career.

Are you loving or hating your job right now? What attitudes are you bringing home from work?

Whatever you’re saying about your job, your leader, your direct reports, your company, your commute, or your clients...it’s all filling up their little heads and hearts.

Change your perspective about your current career, or decide to make the change that your kids will benefit from.
