In this episode, I share why you need to stop choosing “One Word” for this year.  I give you my reasons on why to do this and what to do instead. If you’re listening to this episode at FETC, I will probably cross paths with you. If you’re going to TCEA this year, I’d love to chat with you in person and possibly break bread. I hope your 2023 is off to a great start and stay safe.
